Reform wants people to believe its rise is unstoppable. It isn’t.

The party is under pressure, and its operation is being stretched across the mayoral election in Manchester and the by-election in Clacton. 

Nigel Farage has entered into a humiliating contest against a man dressed as a bin while the corruption scandals engulfing his party widen.

But political weakness does not automatically become defeat. Reform can still grow by taking real anger about poverty, housing and collapsing public services—and directing it against migrants, Muslims and refugees - as is happening in Bicetser where it has latched on the plans to house 1250 people seeking asylum to whip up racism - stoking fears about women and children's safety.

That is why Stand Up To Racism is mobilising in both places. 

We need to be where Reform is trying to build: challenging its lies, speaking to people who are angry and disillusioned, and making the case that racism will not fix a single problem facing working-class communities. 

Breaking Reform means stopping it from turning social crisis into racist politics. It means building an organised anti-racist presence that does not disappear when an election is over.

Organise Together: London Summit

On 28 March, half a million people marched together against the far right

We’ve shown the country that the politics of hate do not speak for all of us. 

But the local election results are a wake-up call that our work is nowhere near done. Across the country, the far right is growing louder and more organised.

Those who push a message of racism and hate are getting more confident – and we will not stand back and watch it happen.

On Saturday 24 October, thousands of people will gather in London to organise, collaborate, and build the future together as part of two summits – North and South.

A space for organisers, campaigners, trade unionists, activists, creatives, educators, community leaders and local people to organise, collaborate and share strategies about how we stop the far right.

This is not a conference for people who sit back and listen.

It is a summit to build power and plan action.

Help us plan, organise and build together against the far right in local communities across the country.

Save the date and book your place.

Stay tuned for speaker announcements and more details (including Oxfordshire transport soon) soon.
