Coventry Against Racism Newsletter Jan/Feb 2019
‘Coventry against Racism is a broad anti-racist group that has existed for a number of years. It is open to all organisations and individuals who are oppose racism and fascism.’
ALL ANTI RACISTS MUST SUPPORT UN ANTI RACIST DAY ON 16TH MARCH
The debate that is Brexit has and is being used by fascistic groups to spread their hate. CAR stands with those who oppose these groups. Whichever way people voted we cannot allow us to be divided seeking scapegoats rather than identifying racism and austerity as the main enemies.
On 16th March the people of Coventry have a chance to show that they are opposed to racism. It is the United Nations Day against Racism. Demonstrations will be held in Cardiff, Glasgow and London. Transport will be laid on to London.
If you can’t attend think about what you can do in Coventry – invite a speaker – contact CAR or Stand up to Racism.
