We are back with another solidarity night on the 11th of April, fundraising for Dalston Solidarity Cafe.
DSC has been providing a radical space in Hackney for the community to grow. Join us to hear more about DSC, support their solidarity project and celebrate radical spaces.
Taking 12 year olds to court and jailing people over Facebook statuses is the kind of policing that is already being used to crush Leftist movements and does absolutely nothing to remedy the top-down racism in society.
Fascist demos help them recruit. Antifascists must stop or at least disrupt far right marches. The police facilitate fascist marches. Just bc an antiracist group has a megaphone, they can't make you protest somewhere more convenient for the cops. Start a grassroots group.
⚠️ Less than a week ago, non white people were being dragged out of cars and beaten. We can't get complacent. Non exhaustive list of demos:
🔊 Friday: Crawley, Paisley, Cardiff
🔊 Saturday: Carlisle, North East, Reading, Cornwall, Hull
Reply with more! Get on the streets!
@BookfairLDN Good graphic from RedFlare. Though if you're implying that we're spreading rumours we've seen specific threats connected to both Walthamstow and Finchley, hence why they're getting a mention.
Not simply spreading other careless rumours.
There's likely to be far-right activity in areas of North London tonight, particularly Walthamstow and Finchley.
There's no place for fascism and racist hate, here or anywhere else. Stick up for your communities, for your neighbours, show the far-right they're not welcome here!
Things are eerie right now.
Streets quieter, shops closed - a bunch boarded up.
Keep hearing about things happening (right now!) but so far none have been true.
Please try to check sources before repeating or when a real emergency happens we might all be chasing rumours!
@tomhfh A common feature of far-right protests of the last few years has been "streamers" filming counter-protestors, with the explicit intent of identifying and harassing/threatening them.
Wearing a form of face covering is entirely legal, and a sensible way to protect yourself.
There are now waves of callouts to protect sites in London from the fash across the next two weeks. Many of these are essentially grassroots callouts, and will need backup from everyone in left and antifascist activism in London.
