Unite against the fascist BNP in Hampstead campaign

The campaign in Hampstead got off to a good start this weekend with leafletting on both Saturday and Sunday covering a big chunk of the ward. The Labour Party had our leaflet on their stall and all the candidates have agreed not to share a platform with the BNP.

Further leafletting will take place on Tuesday evening meeting at Belsize Park tube at 6:30

It has been agreed to have a stall in South End Green on Saturday at 12:00. A volunteer is needed to organise this - a table, resources from UAF, leaflets, petition, collection box, etc.

We also need to leaflet Belsize Park tube, Hampstead tube, and Hampstead overground either in the morning when people are going to work or in the evening when they return. Please let me know your availability for this and I will coordinate.

We need to get letters into the Ham & High and CNJ - not to long - basically who the BNP are and it does not matter who you vote for get out and vote to keep the BNP out.

This is the first time the BNP have stood in Camden - the NF did back in the late 70's - but we must not let them get a toe hold here now. That means in the longer term we must be prepared for them standing in other wards when the council elections happen. With this in mind we will be holding an event/meeting after this by-elction with a view of setting up a UAF group in Camden.

Trade Unions - A motion will be going to Camden Unison Branch Committee on 19th.

Donations from individuals would also be most welcome

Could all of you forward this to your contacts, if people e-mail me I will add their names to a distribution list and let me know if you can leaflet tomorrow or do the stall on Saturday.
