Stopping racist Reform UK in the local elections

REFORM UK IS A RACIST PARTY

Anti-racists say...Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is a danger to us all. Don’t vote for it.

It whips up racism against refugees, migrants and Muslims. But it also threatens everyone except the very rich elite. Farage, a millionaire private school boy, wants to rip up the NHS and opposes new rights for workers.

Reform UK is a fraud. It says it is anti-establishment but helps out the enemies of working people. It wants you to blame migrants and refugees for the problems in Britain while it protects the super-rich who are grabbing more and more.

Don’t be fooled.  Racism means violence, hatred and division. It wrecks lives and encourages attacks on black people, Asians and Muslims. It also distracts attention from the people at the top who fill their pockets while we fight one another.

 

Campaigning against racist Reform UK in the local elections

Stand Up To Racism is running a national campaign against racist Reform UK and any fascist parties standing in the local elections on Thurs 1 May.

In Oxfordshire we are aware of Reform UK standing at least 11 candidates in wards in Didcot, Bicester, Banbury and Wallingford.  We urgently need volunteers to help leaflet door to door with the national "Reform UK is a racist party" flyer to raise the alarm about the dangers Reform UK poses.  If you can volunteer a few hours in any of these areas (lifts can be arranged) please email contact@standuptoracism.org.uk

What else you can do:

  • Donate to the Oxford Stand Up To Racism crowdfunder to raise funds to cover costs of election flyers
  • Organise a Stand Up to Racism stall in your area with other local activists, campaigners and trade unionists
  • Support meetings in your area, union branch, workplace, school or college to get organised against Reform
  • Use our anti-Reform leaflets to expose their lies (printed supplies on request)
  • Share the national campaign page
