On Saturday 22 March it is UN anti-racism day and there are a number of mass
rallies organised in
London, Glasgow and Cardiff to say 'no to
scapegoating immigrants, no to Islamophobia and yes to diversity' organised
by the TUC and Unite Against Fascism.
Please go to
http://www.standuptoracism.org.uk/ for leaflets and posters
etc - given the current climate of
racist scapegoating and mainstream parties
tailing of UKIP's racism (with Nigel Farage praising, and
trying to sound
more like Enoch Powell every day) in the run up to the Euro elections - this is
an important
mobilisation.
National demonstration in London:
Assemble 11 am,
Join us on
procession from Nelson Mandela statue, Parliament Square to Trafalgar Square
rally.
Speakers include: Diane Abbott MP, Natalie Bennett, Leader, The
Green Party, Jerry Dammers, "Free Nelson Mandela" song
writer, Farooq Murad, Secretary General, Muslim Council of
Britain, Mohammed Taj, TUC President, Ava Vidal,
Comedian
The Glasgow demo will assemble at George Square at 10.30am.
The Cardiff protest will assemble at Riverside, Clare Gardens at 11am
and parade through the centre of town to a rally by City Hall
