Oppose the EDL in Newcastle
NEAR | 24.05.2010 08:51 | Anti-racism
Call-out to all anti-racists and anti-fascists:
The English Defence League - a group of racists, nationalists, fascists, and football hooligans - plan to march in Newcastle on 29 May 2010. We will oppose them.
The EDL claim that they oppose 'Muslim extremism'. In fact, they are racists who seek to provoke conflict and disunity. At previous marches they have chanted racist slogans and made Nazi salutes. They have staged protests outside mosques and ran riot in Luton, attacking bystanders.
We resist the EDL's attempt to divide our communities. We need to stand together against those who exploit and oppress us - unity is strength! The EDL's racist provocation is an attack on us all.
Anti-racist protest: meet 10am at Monument, Newcastle upon Tyne, 29/5/10.
We aim to be a flexible group of people, responding as needed on the day. We aim to be able to address people in the street, not be kettled in where nobody can hear our message.
Contact us for further info or if you are travelling from other cities (we may be able to provide accomodation or make arrangements to meet at other times).
