Resist Racism - Saturday 18th March, 12 noon National demonstration, Assemble: Portland Place, London W1A 1AA
In Britain the Rishi Sunak government is attempting to use racism to generate the politics of divide and rule in our communities and make ordinary people pay for the cost of living crisis.
Suella Braverman’s talk of an ‘invasion’ of Southern England, the Rwanda plan to deport asylum seekers and the Nationality and Borders Act (NABA) are all part of the brutal racist hostile environment for refugees and migrants. It is targeting the most vulnerable and costing many lives.
More deaths in the Channel have shown us once again the reality of these policies in practice.
The government denies the existence of institutional racism – despite massively disproportionate deaths in black communities during the pandemic, ongoing deaths in police custody, racist stop and search and discrimination across society.
Internationally we are seeing the growth of the racist and fascist right.
Fascists such as Giorgia Meloni and her Brothers of Italy and the Sweden Democrats are in government. Fascist Le Pen and her National Rally in France have made electoral breakthroughs.
Internationally we are witnessing an alarming growth of racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, Sinophobia and attacks on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities.
We need to mobilise the antiracist and anti-fascist majority.
Join us on the streets as part of an international day of action to mark UN anti-racism day.
