In London we will be marching from the Embassy district of London to show solidarity will the millions resisting the far-right across the world, to Downing Street to deliver the message to Theresa May that we want an end to the hostile environment, Justice for Grenfell and that we stand together against hatred & division.
From Trump in the US, right across Europe and back to Bolsanaro in Brazil the racist and fascist right are on the rise.
In Britain the Tories are scapegoating refugees to deflect attention from their Brexit crisis. The racist and fascist right - from UKIP and Nazi Tommy Robinson to the fake “yellow vests” who threatened Owen Jones and attacked railworkers picket lines in Manchester - are also trying to grow.
It is vital that while the likes of Steve Bannon are trying to link up the far right on an international scale, we build the links between anti-racists and anti-fascists across international borders.
In Britain whether you voted Leave or Remain in the EU referendum, we all have to unite against the growth of racism, Islamophobia and anti-semitism and against the growth of the far right. Join us in London on 16 March
