6 OCTOBER UPDATE: more recent details here

This year has seen a rise in racism and activity by fascists. At the elections, the fascist British National Party picked up nearly 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

LMHR, our sister campaign Unite Against Fascism 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.

Put the date in your diary now – we’ll have more news and transport details soon!
