Nigel Farage is in trouble. 
 
Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice has been caught dodging tax. Scottish Reform leader Lord Malcom Offord - a former Tory and fan of Margaret Thatcher - is refusing to distance himself from racists and antisemites. 
  
Victor Orban, who Reform's Matt Goodwin has been a cheerleader for, has just been crushed in Hungary's election. And perhaps most importantly, Farage's hero Donald Trump has launched a war that will mean price rises and economic chaos for millions.
 
Does this sound like a party who are on the side of ordinary people?
 
Farage is racist and a bigot who blames migrants, Muslims and refugees for the very real problems in society. But we can stop him and his far right friends. 
 
Two weeks ago, half a million joined the Together Alliance march against the far right. Here are the next steps 👇
  
 
Migrants Welcome - Stop the Far Right
 
Saturday 18th April
Assemble 11:30 at Westgate Centre entrance, Queen st, Oxford OX1 1PE
 
Bring signs, banners, musical instruments and friends!
Stand together against racist scapegoating and intimidation!
 
Far right activists want to protest in our city centre spreading lies and hate aimed at migrants, refugees and many more of us. This is us, our families, our neighbours, colleagues and friends. 
 
When the far right are allowed to spread hate and lies unopposed, it emboldens racist outbursts and hate crimes.
 
Bring your friends and let's leave no doubt that Oxford is a welcoming and proud anti-racist city!

Let's stop racist Reform UK in Oxfordshire
Reform is hoping to make a breakthorugh in the coming local elections in Oxford.  A rag bag of ex-Tories and racists are hoping to ride Reform UK's racist campaign into power. 
 
Stand Up To Racism is mounting a national campaign to deliver a blow to Reform UK's election dreams by exposing Reform UK as a prty built for the rich that uses racism to divide us.  
 
Oxford Stand Up To Racism is distributing flyers across multiple wards in Oxfordshire where Reform are standing and we urge readers of this bulletin to support the campaign to deliver a blow to Reform UK's election hopes. Let's keep the racists out of office.
 
Email contact@oxfordstanduptoracism.org.uk if you would like to help get out this anti-Reform UK flyer and/or you would like to help build the national march against Tommy Roboinson's mobilisation in May.
 

What next, after the Together Unity march?
The Together Against the Far Right alliance march in central London on 28 March, 500,000 people strong, was a massive show of love, hope and unity. Four coaches went from the Oxford area alone.
 
But in our communities, we still have far right street thugs attempting to intimidate people. And threatening to increase its reach on our local councils, we still have racist Reform UK.
 
So what can we do next – to counter the hate and division of the far right? How can we build on the energy demonstrated by the Together march?
 
To give people a chance to exchange ideas with others about how we can drive back the far right, Oxford Stand Up To Racism is organising a public meeting. 
 
A small panel of speakers will kick off the discussion. We hope to see you there!
 
Public meeting:
"From elections to street movements:
How can we beat the far right?"
Tuesday 21 April, 7pm
Friends Meeting House, St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW
Hosted by Oxford Stand Up To Racism

16 May – save the day!
Stand Up To Racism will be mobilising in London on 16 May, liaising with the Palestine coalition, who are organising the annual Nakba day demonstration on that date.
 
Fascist Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has signalled his intention to mobilise his supporters on the same day, in a far right Unite the Kingdom rally.
 
On 16 May, we will march in a Unity Against Tommy Robinson counter-demo. After the success of the massive Together Against the Far Right alliance march last Saturday, we ask everyone to join our counter-protest.
 
We will stand together against bigotry and violence.
 
We will send a message of unity against the far right.
 
Reserve your seat on Oxford transport to the Unity against Tommy Robinson counter-demo.
