Well done to everyone on Saturday who lit a bright anti-racist beacon in Oxford city center.

First around 25 of us opposed the 8 strong Oxfordshire Patriots' racist demonstration.

Then we had a great public response building the campaigns against racist party Reform UK and the fascist Tommy Robinson.

The 'patriots' tried and failed to disrupt our stall and only attracted a couple of longtime fascists tempted out of their basements to fly  "stop the boats and St george flags.

In contrast many people, of all ages and backgounds wanted to take our badges, posters and flyers against Reform UK and Tommy Robinson with many singing up to help with the election campaign and mobilisation against Robinson. 

Let's stop racist Reform UK in Oxfordshire

Reform is hoping to make a breakthrough 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 party built for the rich that uses racism to divide us.  Read our newsheet exposing Reform UK.

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.

16 May – save the day!

On 16 May, fascist Tommy Robinson is calling a demonstration in central

London to spread his racist and Islamophobic hatred. 

He is calling on his far right supporters to mobilise on the same day as the Palestine demonstration to commemorate Nakba day.

Stand Up to Racism is uniting with the Palestine coalition to oppose him on the day and put every antiracist on the streets of London.

Last year, Robinson called the biggest far right demonstration this country has seen. 

Tens of thousands of antiracists opposed them but he must be met with even bigger opposition this time.

That possibility is there. Over 500,000 of us marched with the Together Alliance on the biggest antiracist demonstration in British history. We can prove the strength of our movement against the far right once again.

Farage and Reform UK want to take a leap forward at the May elections. This will give a boost to Robinson and every racist. We must not let their confidence grow. 

Join us on 16 May to march united for justice for Palestine and to oppose Tommy Robinson and his racist supporters.

Reserve your seat on Oxford transport to the Unity against Tommy Robinson counter-demo.

We need to raise £90 for posters and flyers to help build the march - can you make a donation?
