Communities against violence is a coalition of black and minority ethnic voluntary and community organisations formed during the August riots.

The Race Equality Foundation released a number of statements during and in response to the riots:

• Communities against violence position statement
• Statement from Lara Oyedele, Odu-Dua Housing Association: Calls to cut HB are 'knee-jerk reaction'
• Parenting, discipline and the riots in England
• Justice and human rights in the aftermath of the riots
• Smacking and the riots: Response to David Lammy, MP
