Racism is on the rise, with increased attacks on Muslim people, government cuts set to hit black and Asian people the hardest, immigration controls being stepped up and the rise of the racist EDL. With Muslim demonstrators harshly sentenced for demonstrating in support of Palestine, and students demonised in the last week as "mindless thugs" for taking action against education cuts and fee increases, there is an urgent need for solidarity and a pro-active demonstration which will build links between different groups. We need this NOW, before the cuts really hit home, when the scapegoating of migrants and refugees as the cause for the lack of jobs and unavailable houses will get even worse.
