United against the fascists in Rotherham

The fascist British National Party (BNP) is on the march again – but we can build a mass movement to stop them in their tracks. That was the message last weekend coming from Rotherham and Stoke-on-Trent, two key targets for the BNP Nazis.

Some 4,500 young people turned out last Saturday in Rotherham for an indoor carnival against the fascists organised by Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR).

Meanwhile in Stoke, a coalition of anti-racist organisations is calling on people to demonstrate against a planned BNP “national rally” to be held in the city on Saturday 20 September.

The Rotherham carnival – LMHR’s largest indoor event to date – was headlined by The Kaiser Chiefs and included sets from Reverend And The Makers, The Courteeners, hip-hop act Fallacy and poet Skint & Demoralised.

Bands and speakers spoke out against the BNP from the stage and urged the overwhelmingly local and working class audience to get involved in the campaign against the Nazis.

Campaigners with Rotherham Unite Against Fascism (UAF) plan to build on the carnival by leafleting Brinsworth, one of the two wards in the town with a BNP councillor, this weekend.

--------------

The fascist British National Party are standing in the Leafy ward of Hampstead on September 25th. Having changed tactics from bover boots and skinheads to pinstripe suits they clearly aim to attract the upper, middle classes of this well-to-do area.

Nazi parties such as the BNP usually do well if voter turnout is low so we need to do mass campaigning with as broad a team as possible. Please start spreading the news at every meeting you attend and to all your contacts and I'll keep you updated with campaign meetings.

Unite Against Fascism

On May 1st the BNP won a seat on the London Assembly. We, the SOAS Students' Union, agreed to make Anti-Fascist campaigning one of our priority campaigns for the coming academic year. We booked in a film showing to kick off the campaign and it turns out that the date we have booked is the day before the election in Hampstead. SO, we will do mass leafletting directly afterwards. More details to follow. Please join us to make this as affective as possible.

Time: 2pm

BILLY BRAGG & MARTIN SMITH: CAN IDENTITY POLITICS BEAT THE NAZIS?

Thanks Comrade Ady for this brilliant video of Martin thrashing out the political arguments of flag waving patriotism

Oppose Neo-Nazi march through Berlin immigrant district on 23rd August 2008 ...نحن نصفق عاليا وفرحين بقرار بناء اول معبد هندي في برلين

The Neo-Nazis have announced that they will march on 23rd August to protest at the proposed building of a Hindu Temple in Berlin. They have decided to march through the largest immigrant district of Berlin (Neukoelln) ending at the proposed site as they believe that "symbols" of this nature attack 'German' culture.

Curiously this ignores the fact that the swastika is an ancient hindu symbol which was hijacked by the Nazi Party as its' official emblem. It's ironic that the neo-nazis themselves don't see this 'foreign symbol' as an attack on their fragile identity and may even use it during the march.

We stand in opposition to the objectives and attitudes of this march and stand in solidarity with the immigrant communities of Berlin. We seek to take action to minimise the negative impacts of this march.

نحن نصفق عاليا وفرحين بقرار بناء اول معبد هندي في برلين.
نحن فرحين ان برلين اصبحت متعددت العرقيات, وخاصتة في ضوء تاريخ المدينة في العهد النازي.
نحن نتطلع الى الوقت الذي يصبح فيه كل المواطني برلين يعيشون في سلام و مساواه.

There'll be more information shortly on what you can do to prevent this from taking place there. At this stage, we need both local and international solidarity and:

1: press contacts (international)
2: Individuals to distribute flyers in Berlin
3: people to write to and email the Berliner senate and police department or other local contacts (details either on the wall below or to follow) Sign the petition at the German Embassy here:
4: additional strategy advice/other support
5 German lawyers who know about the law relating to marches
