Erasing Essex’s Borders is committed to uncovering our history and increasing the understanding of all of the factors that have led to our label as an Apartheid County. Our goal is to Erase The Borders that divide us - the lines that lift some and lower others - the borders of hierarchy and boundaries of injustice. We seek to unify our county - creating belonging that transcends lines - borders - boundaries.
