LTB 250/24 - Important: Anti-Racism Rally Saturday 27th July, Russell Square - Central London
No. 250/24
17th July 2024
TO: ALL BRANCHES
Dear Colleague,
Important: Anti-Racism Rally Saturday 27th July, Russell Square – Central London
Branches should note that a ‘Unite Against Fascist Tommy Robinson’ rally, organised by the TUC and Stand Up to Racism, is taking place on Saturday 27th July 2024 in London.
One of the consequences of 14 years of failed Tory policies is that the divisive populist far-right rhetoric has become normalised by politicians such as Nigel Farage and other so-called political commentators.
Our Union has always been proudly anti-racist. The politics of division must, without fail, be challenged.
That is why we are encouraging our reps and members to join the CWU on Saturday 27th July in Russell Square, Central London (nearest station is Russell Square) to oppose Tommy Robinson, who has called yet another rally in central London.
Collectively, we must say no to the politics of hate. Look out for the CWU pink and join us at midday. Along with the CWU, many other trade unions will all be unified in our message of hope and unity.

Yours sincerely,
Dave Ward
General Secretary
