Stand Up To Racism: Anti-Racism Rally

IMPORTANT: ANTI-RACISM RALLY- SATURDAY 26^TH OCTOBER, CENTRAL LONDON

Branches should note that the next Anti-Racism rally organised by Stand Up to Racism (SUTR) is taking place on Saturday 26^th October in Central London.

Branches will be aware that the CWU are strong supporters of the anti-racism movement, which is why we are calling for a show of CWU strength at this demonstration to oppose Tommy Robinson, who has called on his followers to assemble in Central London. The demonstration is also being supported by the TUC.

The General Secretary will be speaking at the event and will be calling for a more focused, trade union-led strategy/campaign to address these issues in a way that reaches all communities and our members.

Stand Up to Racism are organising coaches from all over the UK and we would encourage anyone interested in attending to check their website. The TUC block meeting point is on the corner of Jermyn Street & Regents Street/St James Street, assembling from 11:30am. SUTR have advised attendees to avoid Victoria Station, where far-right activists will be congregating. If you cannot avoid the station, please remove any insignia to ensure your safety.
