Edinburgh And Dundee Events.


From uafEdinburgh:

        The recent murder of a prominent Greek rapper by a member of the fascist Golden Dawn shows why we need to keep on top of the racists here.

       On Saturday 5 October there are two very different events but both working for the anti-racist cause. A family friendly fun day in Edinburgh and in Dundee there will be a counter protest to the racist Scottish Defence League.

EDINBURGH
      Last year’s Love Multiculturalism-Hate Racism event was great fun and dead popular, this year’s line-up is even better and will showcase entertainment and activities from around the world including music from Rise Katonga (ex-Bhundu boys), the Avuda Choir, the Belle Stars with Scottish & Klezmer music, Henna-hand painting, , children’s entertainer, world cuisine and stalls. Entry costs just £1 and all proceeds will go toward Unite Against Fascism in Edinburgh.

Avuda Choir:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Avuda/281654335268831

DUNDEE
       The Scottish Defence League have been trying to build branches across the country so the demonstration against them in Dundee is important to keep them isolated and hopefully demoralised. The protest assembles at 12 noon in City Square. We will be sending cars of people through. Can you come? Email us: uafedinburgh@riseup.net

STUDENTS
      We really hope to organise some Unite Against Fascism meeting for students across Edinburgh, please get in touch if you would like to help out.  Email: uafedinburgh@riseup.net

ANTI-FASCIST FUNDRAISER
       At the recent protest in London against the English Defence League the police went over the top and ended up arresting 100's of anti-fascists and they then put draconian bail conditions on them.

       On Monday October 14 there is an Edinburgh fundraiser at the Bongo club to raise funds for the legal costs of those arrested and has a stellar line-up of Scottish DJs and Live Acts

  1. "Mammals"

    Poem of Jesús Lizano, anarchist and poet.

    I see mammals.
    Mammals with very strange names.
    They have forgotten that they are mammals
    and they believe they are bishops, plumbers,
    dairy, deputies.
    Deputies?
    I see mammals.

    Police, doctors, janitors,
    teachers, tailors, singers.
    Singers?
    I see mammals ...

    Mayors, waiters, clerks, architects
    Architects?
    How can a mammal believe he's an architect?

    Members, yes, members, they believe to be members
    of the Central Committee, the official medical school...
    Academic, kings and colonels.
    I see mammals.

    Actresses, sluts, maids, secretaries,
    directors, lesbians, nursery nurses ...
    Honestly, I see mammals.
    One sees mammals,
    nobody seems to remember that it is mammal.
    Am I the last mammal?

    Democrats, Communists, chess,
    journalists, soldiers, peasants.
    I see mammals.

    Marquis, executives, partners,
    Italian, Spanish, Scottish, English.
    English?
    I see mammals.

    Christians, Muslims, Copts,
    inspectors, technicians, Benedictines,
    business, bankers, cosmonauts...

    ...I see mammals.
