Antifascist Coalition Autonomous Bloc is supporting the callout by Nijjor Manush, ROT Collective, East London Community Defence, and many other local groups to mobilise on the 25th October in Whitechapel to help keep the area safe from UKIP’s fascist street mob.
📢 Saturday 25th October
🕛 meet at 12 noon
🚝 Whitechapel Station
The East End was, still is, and always will be built and shaped by generations of immigrants. From the Huguenots, to the Irish dockers, the Jewish Anarchists, the Bengali, Somali and Caribbean communities as well as generations of migrants who moved to the East End from across the country to work in warehouses, tunnels, sites and factories, this is who we are, our history and identity the far right can never co-opt or take away from us.
This is where in 1936 thousands of locals stopped Moseley’s blackshirts from marching at the Battle of Cable Street. This is where the Asian Youth Movement fought the National Front and the Asian Action Group fought the BNP and Combat 18 out of Brick Lane. This is where in 2011 the All London Anarchist Revolutionary Mob alongside hundreds of militant Asian youth stopped the EDL from marching, and where the Anti-Fascist Network stopped the EDL from marching again in 2013.
Fighting fascism is a proud East End tradition. Whitechapel is where, time and time again, fascists come to lose, and we intend to keep things that way.
Nick Tenconi and UKIP operate in the interests of the rich - the bosses, the bankers, the politicians, the landlords and their class who spread racist hate thinking they can divide and control us and keep us down - We won’t let them.
For many of us the End End and Docklands is Hometown. For the rest of us, we’ll be travelling from across London to support the local community in putting a stop to fascist violence.
Whitechapel is Anti-Racist!
Whitechapel is Anti-Fascist!
🎉 People’s Rally on 19th October at 1pm in Altab Ali Park.
No Pasaran.
See you on the streets!
Remembering Means Fighting.
