The elections on Thursday are set to deliver a political earthquake. Far right Reform UK are predicted to win up to 2000 seats and several councils. Farage is radicalising rightwards and hardening up Reform on the question of racism, with the "Vote Green, get illegals" announcement. Rather than challenge Reform's racism the government has instead launched an attack on the right to protest for anti-racists and those opposed to the genocide in Palestine blaming the Palestine movement for anti-semitism. While the Palestine solidarity movement faces calls for a ban of the planned march to mark the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, fascist Tommy Robinson is being given central London for his next mass rally. A huge turnout on 16 May is needed to resist the growing support for the far right and attempts to shut down the right to protest for the rest of us. See below for march and Oxford transport details. Disgracefully the Oxford Union has extended an invitation to Tommy Robinson to speak at the end of May against Islam. Stand Up To Racism is organising to get the invitation cancelled and to protest Robinson's presence if the Oxford Union persists with it's invite. The Oxford union has repeatedly platformed fascists this has given them a legitmacy they do not deserve and only boosts the confidence of their supporters to mobilise. |

Oxford Stand Up To Racism supporters have delivered close to 15,000 of the Stop Reform election flyers over the past 3 weeks in target wards across Oxfordshire.

We aim to do much better next year and want to build as many teams in wards as possible before the next elections to be able to challenge Reform much more strongly. Email contact@oxfordstanduptoracism.org.uk if you would like to help with this. Can you help us cover our costs. Please donate us to help us raise £400 to cover the campaign's printng costs. |

ALL OUT ON MAY 16 |
 |
 |
|
Assemble noon, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London, SW7 2DB 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? |

Protest: No Platform for Fascist Tommy Robinson at the Oxford Union |
|
💥Thursday 28 May 6.30pm 📍St Michael's Street, Oxford OX1 2EB Called by Oxford Stand Up to Racism The Oxford Union a private debating club has invited Britain's no 1 fascist Tommy Robinson to speak in a "debate" on whether the West is right to be "suspicious of Islam" By inviting Robinson the Oxford Union is helping to boost and legitimise Robinson's racism and fascism. This invitation can only give confidence to his supporters to be more active here. At a time of rising racist attacks and increased far right and fascist activity in the UK this invitation is dangerous, and negligent of the safety and peace of Oxford's diverse community. We call on the Oxford Union to cancel the invitation. |
