Oppose the EDL - 1st June 2013

Oppose the EDL | 31.05.2013 21:04 | Anti-racism

Saturday could be the largest far right mobilisation on the streets that there has been for many years, with up to 60 English Defence League events planned around the UK. Make sure you show up to oppose them.

The EDL are planning to be on the streets up and down the country on Saturday.

Wherever the EDL show their faces, we should be there too, to oppose them, to make sure they know they are not welcome, to ensure they don't use the opportunity to abuse people who happen to cross their path and don't fit their warped idea of what being English is. We can't wait for callouts to demonstrations - that the EDL have done so is enough.

This is the list of places the EDL claim to be assembling - if there aren't alternative details on the relevant facebook link, they will be meeting 1pm at the war memorial - I suggest antifascists arrive earlier.

Why not take pictures of the empty space if they don't show (so they don't claim a successful demonstration later) or use it as an opportunity to get to know the faces of your local scummy racists if only a few make the effort.
