Stand Up To Racism – Summit against racism & the far right
This summer has seen the biggest far right riots in Britain in decades. We have pushed them back through mass mobilisations – but we know the threat continues.
The demonisation of Muslims, migrants and refugees has given confidence to fascists on the streets. In Britain, Farage and Reform UK are using hard racism to drag British politics sharply to the right. Internationally, fascist and far right parties are riding high in the polls or winning elections. The recent successes of the Freedom Party in Austria and the AfD in Germany are another warning. In the US, the election could see Trump return to the White House.
We can stop the far right. But we need to get organised. That means building a mass movement across Britain – in every town, city, workplace and university campus. Internationally, campaigners need to come together to discuss and debate the way forward and how we continue to resist. Join the summit and be part of the anti-racist and anti-fascist fightback.
Speakers include: Jeremy Corbyn MP / Taj Ali journalist and historian / Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP / International anti-fascists from France, Germany, Greece and more
Themes include: Farage to Trump: How do we stop the growth of the far right / Opposing Islamophobia / Stop the scapegoating: refugees welcome / Two-tier?
