Dear Sisters,
Apologies for cross posting but I am really keen to go in a feminist block 
next Sat. See below.

Join Feminist Fightback to demonstrate against the EDL’s ‘Angel’s’
march on Downing Street this Saturday. ‘Angels’ is the vomit-inducing name
given to the women’s division of the English Defence League. This fascist
organisation has previously tried to claim that it supports women’s rights –
though such hollow rhetoric presumably doesn’t include the rights of women 
of
colour or migrant women.

It is therefore crucial that a strong feminist presence is felt on the
counter-demonstration, called for by Unite Against Fascism. The struggle for
gender liberation cannot be separated from the fight against racism. And any
anti-fascist movement we build needs to have feminism at the heart of it if 
we
are to successful challenge the EDL’s superficial appropriation of gender
equality.

Meet at Saturday 8th Oct 12 noon Downing Street, London SW1. Feminists,
anti-racists and anti-fascists (of all genders and none) are most welcome. 
Bring
your own placards and anything that will make a noise.
