Over 600 anti-fascist activists from around the country met in London on Saturday of last week for a lively and determined conference organised by Unite Against Fascism. The conference discussed stopping the British National Party (BNP) at the 4 May local elections.

The conference saw a large turnout of young people and students, many of whom had got involved in Unite through the Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) campaign against the BNP in schools and colleges.

Dominique Walker, the sister of teenager Anthony Walker who was murdered by racists in Liverpool, gave a moving speech to the conference.

She paid tribute to the anti-fascists who had helped organise a concert in Liverpool for black and white unity in the wake of Anthony?
