Dear Colleague
Reminder! Saturday 16th March 2019: United Nations Anti-Racism Day Demonstrations, Cardiff, Glasgow and London
Far right leader Tommy Robinson is attempting to capitalise on the Government's Brexit crisis by organising a rally on 9th December to promote his far right, fascist agenda.
He is trying to win broader support for a new violent racist street movement, which has already been responsible for racist attacks and attacks on trade unionists, including RMT members.
RMT is supporting the counter demonstration organised by Stand Up to Racism on 9th December.
