Stand Up To Racism International Conference

Stand Up To Racism campaigns against racism and the far right. We have been organsing mass campaigning against fascist Tommy Robinson and far right UKIP's in the EU election - saying "Keep  Racism out of the elections". We challenge Islamophobia, institutional racism, the scapegoating of immigrants for austerity and the far right whenever they try and organise. Stand Up To Racism organises the annual march against racism coinciding with UN Anti-Racism Day in March in conjunction with the TUC.

We have seen, and of course been part of, the emergence of an inspiring and combative #BlackLivesMatter movement in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd. Both have laid bare the deep institutionalised racism at the heart of society, and we have seen hundreds and thousands of people joining the anti racist movement actively. The intensification in recent weeks of the scapegoating of refugees and migrants in the mainstream media and across the political establishment, and the horror of tragic and needless deaths as well as the fire that has ravaged Greece’s largest refugee camp in Lesvos, has also underlined the need for a mass anti racist movement that can oppose division.The conference will take place over Saturday 17 October, and Sunday 18 October, with workshops running (online via Zoom) from 3pm on the Saturday, a major international angled rally on the Saturday at 5pm, and a major domestic angled rally taking place on the Sunday at 5pm.Book now to reserve your place
