Anti-racism demo sees increasing support from unions and public figures

AN ANTI-RACISM demonstration to take on the threat of the far right in Britain is winning increasing support from trade unions and politicians.

The TUC Congress passed an emergency motion today to back the November 17 demo, while Labour’s Diane Abbott and John McDonnell, alongside union reps and artists such as Lowkey, have signed a unity statement.

Initiated by Stand Up To Racism and Unite Against Fascism, the statement aims to “regenerate a broad-based mass resistance to division and hate” in light of the increasing far-right street movement.
