This summer has seen the biggest far right riots in Britain in decades. We have pushed them back through mass mobilisations – but we know the threat continues.
The demonisation of Muslims, migrants and refugees has given confidence to fascists on the streets. In Britain, Farage and Reform UK are using hard racism to drag British politics sharply to the right. Internationally, fascist and far right parties are riding high in the polls or winning elections. The recent successes of the Freedom Party in Austria and the AfD in Germany are another warning. In the US, the return of Trump to the White House will give the far right a big boost internationally.
We can stop the far right. But we need to get organised. That means building a mass movement across Britain – in every town, city, workplace and university campus. Internationally, campaigners need to come together to discuss and debate the way forward and how we continue to resist. Join the summit and be part of the anti-racist and anti-fascist fightback.
Speakers include: Jeremy Corbyn MP / Taj Ali journalist and historian / Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP / International anti-fascists from France, Germany, Greece and more
This Summit is a crucial space to discuss the strategy to stop the far right here and internationally - build on yesterday's important step forwards - don't miss the summit! https://worldagainstracism.org/

At the height of apartheid during the late 60s and early 70s, an international group of students and workers living in London answered Oliver Tambo’s secret call for undercover agents. This documentary thriller by director Gordon Mains tells the story of the young men and women who risked all to bring Tambo’s message of hope to his embattled people in South Africa. Not everyone made it home.
"A brilliant piece of work. This is a film that must be seen". Jeremy Corbyn , Director Peace and Justice Project
People were detained in Campsfield House for 25 years, from 1993 until its closure in 2018.It was a place synonymous with brutality and despair, based on a racist regime to demonise migrants.
In August 2024, the government confirmed plans to re-open the detention centre next to Oxford Airport and the Oxford University Begbroke Science Park. If the plan goes ahead, hundreds of people will be imprisoned in our community without trial, without time limit, and without proper judicial oversight.
More detention means more years of danger, misery and harm for detainees. Evidence shows that the mistreatment of vulnerable people, including survivors of torture and trafficking, is deeply ingrained in the system.
