SDL at the Edinburgh Festival!!!!
An appeal from EdinburghUAF:
Saturday, 25 February 2012
CLEAN GLASGOW'S STREETS.
Today, Glasgow should come together to clean its streets, today the nazi SDL want to turn our streets into avenues of hate. This off-shoot of the EDL/BNP nazi groupings are not welcome on the streets of our city, a city that has a long tradition of stuggling for the betterment of all its people, a city with a proud history of working class unity. We can't allow this band of deranged dangerous nazi nutters to soil that history.
Celebrating Multicultural Glasgow
Saturday 25 FebruaryFrom 12 noon, George Square, GlasgowDownload the flyer here: http://alturl.com/4f9dr Facebook Event here: http://www.facebook.com/events/232093423552257/
See you on Saturday.

Note:

There organisations around the country have recently been attacking mosques, campaigning street stalls and trade unionists.

Glasgow has a proud history of challenging prejudice and promoting equality. We oppose discrimination of all kinds. We’ve all worked and campaigned together for many years to build a successful, multicultural city where different communities live peacefully side-by-side. We will not accept attempts to create fear and intimidation in our community. The SDL is a violent, racist organisation. They should be opposed wherever they attempt to organise.
We call upon all people, political parties, trade unions, cultural, youth, faith and community organisations to work together to unite our city and defy the SDL’s attempts to divide us and stir up hatred.
The last time the SDL tried to march in Glasgow we saw a 3000 strong demonstration of mass unity on the streets.
Lets see that mass unity drive them off the streets again.

The fight against fascism doesn’t stop once we chase the SDL out of our city.
