We need a maximum pushback against the Racists and Nazis.All demos and protests against the Racists helps to undermine their confidence and gives a boost to Anti -Racists everywhere to fight back.
Newcastle gave a clear lead. Thousands of Anti-Racists turned out against the Nazis of Pegida ,outnumbering them 10 to 1. Hundreds turned out on the Stand Up to UKIP protest on the last day of their conference in Margate.The EDL recently cancelled a proposed march in Brighton in the face of massive opposition.However they plan marches in Manchester ,Oxford and elsewhere.Their marches must be vigorously opposed.

This racist tide will only be driven back by you and me standing up
and confronting it. From Germany to Greece to Ferguson, people who want
a society free from racism are saying no more. People are taking to the
streets in large numbers to oppose the racist Pegida movement in
Germany and the Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn in Greece, and to protest against
institutional racism and police violence against Black communities.
People are outraged at the Islamophobic and anti-Semitic backlash after
the Copenhagen and Paris attacks, and the mass media silence on the
Chapel Hill shootings where three Muslim students were brutally shot
dead, so many have mobilised under the slogan ‘Muslim Lives Matter’.
Immigrant communities are fed up with being
wrongly blamed for an economic crisis they did not create. On UN
anti-racism day people across the world will be taking a stand. Will you be there?
Last year over 10,000 people from across Britain people took to the
streets in London – students and trade unionists, people of all faiths
and none, migrants, musicians, teachers, pensioners and parents. And
together we showed unity in the face of racism. A huge demonstration
this year, just a month before the General Election, will send a
powerful message to all politicians:
|
We are the majority and
we will stand up to racism. |
|
Demos are happening across Britain, and internationally including London, Glasgow, Cardiff, Athens and Barcelona.
