Race on the Agenda (ROTA) is a social policy think tank set up in April 1997 to take over from Greater London Action on Race Equality which started in 1984.
ROTA work with London's Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities and others interested in race equality, towards achieving social justice by the elimination of discrimination and promotion of human rights, diversity and equality of opportunity.
They achieve these aims by informing London's strategic decision-makers about the issues affecting the BAME third sector and the communities it serves and by making government policy more accessible to London's BAME organisations.
ROTA uses the term BAME to refer to all groups who are discriminated against on the grounds of their race, culture, colour or nationality.
