A delegation of three members of Tyneside Community Action for Refugees (TCAR) joined the three day march to Lindholme detention centre near Doncaster. The delegation was agreed at the last General Meeting as a gesture of solidarity for the march organised by the South Yorkshire Migrant and Asylum Action Group (SYMAAG).

Hopefully we can continue to build links across the country. At the next TCAR General Meeting on 17th November we will be finalising the date for a large anti-racist march in January. We hope comrades from Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster can join us.

Tyneside Community Action for Refugees (TCAR) is a network of groups and individuals in Tyneside that have united to defend asylum rights. The Revolutionary Communist Group, known by our newspaper, Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! participates in TCAR as a group.
