NMP began documenting case examples and published yearly reports that argued the existence of institutional racism and how this in turn shaped what it perceived as the societal criminalisation of black people.
[3] The organisation publicly argued racism remains rooted in the fabric of British society, as shown by the recent anti-terrorism legislation and stop and search powers, which disproportionately affect black communities.
NMP has supported other active campaigns such as that led by the family of Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent Brazilian man shot to death by police in 2005 during an anti-terror operation for which no individual officer has ever been charged.
It has worked with the families involved in the near fatal 2 June 2006 Forest Gate raid,[4] standing alongside the local community in condemning the actions of the police and calling for a full and fair independent investigation and for officers to be held accountable.
Other projects included involvement in organising discussion based events for the local community alongside Newham Bookshop with authors such as Moazzam Begg, Rageh Omaar, Gary Younge, Jocelyn Hurndall, who is the mother of Tom Hurndall, and Clive Stafford Smith[6] to highlight related issues of public concern that engage with similar themes of the organisation's work around racism, human rights, policing and justice.
