Countering Racism, Fascism and Islamophobia

Upstairs in the East Room of 'The Crossing'

Walsall WS1 1DA - Darwall Street entrance

Contributions from anti-fascist and anti-racist campaigners, community and faith leaders and local councillors. Come and join the discussion

and

Help build the We are Walsall event the following week:

Gallery Square at New Art Gallery,

Walsall, WS2 8LG,

11am Saturday 29^th September

With this event we are both celebrating a united Walsall and protesting against the EDL's attempt to promote hatred and division. By gathering on the day we will be ensuring that the EDL are tightly contained away from the Saturday crowds and cannot roam around town abusing and intimidating people, spreading their message of hate. We will be making sure that the EDL's message is not the dominant story of the day. Please continue to encourage people to attend this peaceful but determined event - the racists need to know they cannot win.

Attached is the most recent flyer, a pledge sheet developed from the earlier statement that has been circulating and an email to Walsall Councillors which has received a considerable number of positive responses.

We have been allocated an assembly point of Gallery Square and that is now included on the flyer. We will need to make a final decision as to whether to make an application to march at the meeting on Thursday.

We are Walsall meets again this Thursday 20th September, 7:15pm at Palfrey Community Centre, Milton Street, Walsall.

Please bring new people to the meeting if you can so that we can develop the momentum over the last 10 days.

   Please spread the word!!
Thanks
Ian Robertson
Secretary Walsall South CLP
