The Spanish Civil War slogan was widely used: They Shall Not Pass - No Pasaran! The Cable Street Group and Alternative Arts are planning a commemorative day. The Festival will include a procession, street theatre, music, singers, an exhibition of photographs from 1936 and from more recent events, as well as stalls. This event takes place in Cable St, Whitechapel. ( categories: against fascism )
