We have been enjoined by the courts, assaulted by thugs, charged by the militia, traduced by the press, frowned upon in public opinion, and deceived by politicians. But notwithstanding all this and all these, labor is today the most vital and potential power this planet has ever known, and its historic mission is as certain of ultimate realization as is the setting of the sun. |
National demo against racism, fascism and IslamophobiaSubmitted by glynharries on Tue, 17/08/2010 - 11:55.
06/11/2010 - 12:00 06/11/2010 - 16:00 This year has seen a rise in racism and activity by fascists across Europe. At the elections, the fascist British National Party picked up half a millon votes after gaining two seats in the European parliament last year, while the racist thugs of the English Defence League have staged 29 demonstrations, trying to stir up anti-Muslim racism – Islamophobia – in towns and cities across the country. In Luton, Stoke and Dudley, the EDL has gone on the rampage, attacking Asian people, places of worship, homes and shops. Show unity But the overwhelming majority of people hate racism and fascism. It’s time to show our opposition to the racists and fascists – and our commitment to a multiracial, multicultural society. March and carnival UAF, our sister organisation Love Music Hate Racism and the Muslim Council of Britain have called a national demonstration in central London for Saturday 6 November. We are planning to end the march with a carnival, where we can celebrate our unity and diversity together – with top artists and musicians. This is your chance to stand up and show that the fascism and racism of the BNP and EDL have no place in our society.
