trade unions and other anti-fascist organisations have to come together to show that we anti-fascists are the majority

In the wake of the election of the BNP’s Richard Barnbrook to the Greater London Assembly (GLA), and of other new BNP councillors in other parts of the country, trade unions and other anti-fascist organisations have to come together to show that we anti-fascists are the majority.

The demonstration is an opportunity to show our opposition to fascist and racist organisations like the British National Party (BNP) who gained seats in the May elections.

There will be a march and carnival parade including floats, marching bands, speakers and banners from a huge range of organisations opposed to fascism and racism.

Materials and flyers are available from all PCS regional offices
