LTB 074/24 - UN Anti-Racism Day – Stop The Hate Demonstrations
No. 074/24
TO: ALL BRANCHES
Dear Colleague,
UN Anti-Racism Day – Stop The Hate Demonstrations
Branches should note that the next UN Anti-Racism Day rallies organised by the TUC and Stand Up To Racism are taking place on Saturday 16th March 2024 in London and Glasgow, with the Cardiff rally the following day. These rallies will make an important statement that trade unions and other organisations are opposed to racist and xenophobic rhetoric directed towards marginalised groups. With a General Election just around the corner, the Tory Government will be ramping up their attacks on migrant and minority communities so it is more important than ever that we stand united and say no to hate.
The meeting points for the rallies are in the process of being confirmed and we will communicate all of these as soon as we have them. For now, please put this important date in your diaries and make sure you make your plans to support the UN Anti-Racism Day.
The CWU are committed to combating racism and fascism and our union has had fantastic support at past events. We hope we can again demonstrate our solidarity as part of a global day of anti-racist protest.
Branches and members in Wales and Scotland are encouraged to support their regional event and we will circulate flyers for these soon. You can find out more information about the demonstrations here.
Any queries relating to this LTB should be directed to equality&education@cwu.org
Yours sincerely,
Dave Ward
General Secretary
