7 Feb: Smash the EDL’s National Demo in Dudley (UK)

via rabbleLDN:



From Midlands Anti-Fascists.

ALERTA! Anti-Fascist response needed in the West Midlands!

The racists of the English Defence League (EDL) are planning to have their national demo on Saturday February the 7th in Dudley. They are treating it very seriously, and antifa need to be just as committed and more organised.

In the context of Charlie Hebdo, islamaphobia from the government, the media and the far-right is on the rise. Letting them feel they can have these views and gather in an attempt to intimidate Black, Asian and other minority ethnic populations is not an option.

Eight Muslim owned shops have been vandalised in the Small Heath and Sparkbrook areas of Birmingham. The police are saying it’s “unclear” whether the attacks were racially motivated, but it’s obvious when the same things and worse are currently happening in France.

On the University of Birmingham campus this week, swastika’s were sprayed along with the message “Islam must die”.

We call for a counter-demo, made up of people of all colours, creeds, sexualities and genders to oppose these fascists.

Saturday the 7th of Feb, from 10 am.

Locations to be announced.
