Really heartening to see so many out on a cold Sunday evening for a rally and a march with Women Against the Far-Right in Birmingham, ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

We rise to reject the use of this issue as a weapon against refugees.

Both white and ethnic minority adults view the surge in flags being put up on lampposts and bridges in towns in the UK as "anti migrant."

Most people recognise that our lives are enriched by migration and appreciate the contribution migrants make to UK life. The NHS was built and is sustained by migrant labour. No-one voted to see the NHS threatened by an alliance of racist Labour ministers and far-right muppets but here we are.

Statement from organisers of the Tuesday vigil. We are a collection of people who live and work locally and want to fight back the rise of fascism. - We are horrified at the recent rape and racist attacks in our area. - ⁠We stand in support and solidarity with the young Sikh woman who was targeted. - ⁠ We only have access to and intend to post information on the case that has been made public by Police and will support catching the perpetrators - ⁠We will not be naming or engaging in any way that could identify or single out women the Sikh community. - This is a grassroots community event - no one is a politician. - It is Lead by Black and Brown women who are scared it could happen to them with support of other comrades and allies - ⁠We are encouraging women from all backgrounds to speak out in support. - ⁠This happened in broad daylight next to a school - how can anyone feel safe? - ⁠The recent target of migrants has lead to racists feeling emboldened - ⁠Tommy Robinson has publicly supported Sikhs in a video statement while inciting inslamophobia. Our Sikh members want to ensure that they are visibly seen as not supporting him. - This is a community issue not just Sikh - All are welcome on Tuesday to support the fight against racist violence

Feeling down about the far right demo on Saturday? Here are five things you can do to help turn things around: 🧵

(Part 1 of 4)

1️⃣ Join #StandUpToRacism – be part of the national movement taking on the far right and racism. We need anti-fascist organisers in every town and city.
