Thursday 22nd April, 6pm - 8pm
ULU, Malet Street
Room - 3A (third floor)
Nearest Tubes - Goodge St, Euston, Euston Sq & Russell Sq
This meeting has been called by UAF, the NUS Black Students’ Campaign and the NUS LGBT Campaign only two weeks away from the General Election on Thursday May 6th. Following the election of two British National Party fascist MEPs last June it is more important than ever that we as a student movement come together and oppose the rise of fascism within the UK.
The meeting is being held exactly one week after the censure of Bell Ribeiro-Addy at NUS National Conference for sending a letter to Durham Students’ Union. The censure was made on the grounds that Bell was “threatening” and imposing NUS’ No Platform on Durham. The reality was that Bell and Daf Adley (NUS LGBT Officer) successfully stopped two fascists (including ex-National Front leader Andrew Brons) spreading their racist lies on Durham campus.
This meeting will discuss the ways in which students can mobilise to stop the BNP and other groups like the English Defence League, and look at how No Platform for Fascists can be a very useful tool within Students’ Unions.
