Racism is on the rise—and the far right is seeking to take advantage to grow. From Germany to Brazil, Italy to the US, the far right is on the march. In Britain Ukip, the ‘Football Lads’ and Tommy Robinson are trying to capitalise on the ‘hostile environment’ created by politicians and much of the media.

How can we organise to challenge racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism and the growth of the far right on the streets and in our communities?

February is also the 20th anniversary of the publication of the Macpherson Report in 1999. This followed the racist murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence in London. The report provoked a debate about institutional racism in the police but also in wider society.

Yet two decades on, institutional racism and Islamophobia remain deeply entrenched. How can we organise to challenge this? Come and join the discussion and help organise.
