Demonstrate tomorrow. No to Islamophobia. No to war.
T
his 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 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.
