LMHR is asking all our supporters in and around London and Essex to attend this major counter-protest against the BNP in Barking and Dagenham. The BNP are attempting to stage an open public rally in London for the first time in 20 years. The BNP’s increased presence in the borough where they have 11 local councillors has seen racist attacks rise by more than 60% year-on-year.
The BNP’s racist literature publicising their rally is claiming that immigrants receive priority for council housing and that violent crime has gone up in the area because of an increase in the immigrant population.
The reality is that immigrants DO NOT receive priority for council housing. The BNP’s racist so-called “Africans for Essex” scheme is a total lie. There is no such scheme that
specifically gives grants to Africans. The majority of Africans and other ethnic minority communities live in private accommodation paid for by themselves. Black and Asian communities cannot be blamed for shortages in housing and other public services.
Unite Against Fascism are calling on people to book transport to the event and for local public sector workers to protest in uniform, union and other banners and for you to bring delegations of people from where you work, live or study.
We need the maximum possible turnout in unity against the racist lies of the BNP.
Please use the leaflet below to mobilise others – contact UAF with details of any transport booked on unite@ucu.org.uk
