Hi everyone,

Pass this on to people you trust...

Please come down on Saturday (29 March) to oppose the EDL.

Sorry for short notice but please pass on to anyone you think might be able
to come, Accomadation offered


Call-out to all anti-racists and anti-fascists:

The English Defence League - a group of racists, nationalists, fascists, and
football hooligans - plan to march in Newcastle on 29 May 2010.  We will
oppose them.
The EDL claim that they oppose 'Muslim extremism'.  In fact, they are
racists who seek to provoke conflict and disunity.  At previous marches they
have chanted racist slogans and made Nazi salutes.  They have staged
protests outside mosques and ran riot in Luton, attacking bystanders.
We resist the EDL's attempt to divide our communities.  We need to stand
together against those who exploit and oppress us - unity is strength! The
EDL's racist provocation is an attack on us all.
The police are currently warning local black/Asian West End community groups
to 'not be alarmed' about riot police in the area on Saturday.

Anti-racist protest: meet 10am at Monument, Newcastle upon Tyne, 29/5/10.
Or contact NEAR by phone on the day to find out what is happening (write
down this number: 07979476166).
Please try to arrive and leave in pairs or groups.  This may not be an event
suitable for children.

We aim to be a flexible group of people, responding as needed on the day. We
want to have a presence in the centre of town so that we can address people
in the street, not be kettled in where nobody can hear our message.
If anyone can offer to fill particular roles on the day please get in touch
asap at the email address below

Contact us for further info or if you are travelling from other regions (we
may be able to provide accomodation (please tell us asap) or make
arrangements to meet at other times).

North East Against Racism is a coalition of groups and individuals from many
political perspectives

Also on the day, there is a rally/music event at Monument 11am - 3pm

will almost certainly get kettled in), starting at Barrack Road near St
James Park at 12 noon.
