Holocaust Survivor joins music stars in campaign to stop the fascist BNP in Barking by-election.
Leon Greenman OBE Holocaust survivor survived six concentration camps under Hitler’s fascist regime and will be joining the campaign against the fascist British National Party in Goresbrook, Barking this Saturday 11th June. He will urge the local community to use their votes to stop the BNP in the forthcoming by-election in the Goresbrook Ward of Barking on Thursday 23rd June. A host of leading London Urban, Grime/ RnB artists including Kano, Doneo, Skeme and Big P and Gemma Fox and up and coming rock band Metro Riots will also be attending along with special guests.
Daniel Kelley, the BNP's first councillor in London since 1993, recently stood down triggering this by-election. He received 51% of the vote but over 70% of the electorate did not vote. Where the BNP have a presence, racist attacks increase - in the year running up to Kelley's election, racist attacks have soared by 18% in Barking and by 120% in neighbouring Havering. Unite Against Fascism is campaigning to highlight the importance of using your vote to stop the BNP.
----------------------------------------
This an urgent call for mobilising against the Fascist BNP, we are urging all our supporters and members in London and Essex to give up a day to stop the BNP in London. If the BNP lose this election it will be a serious defeat for them, as this was the council seat in London they won in Sept last year.
The more of us that attend the better the anti-fascist impact in the area and the more likely we can ensure a BNP defeat. In the last ward election the turnout was very low (28%) and the BNP gained 51% of these
votes. Unite Against Fascism need your help to leaflet the ward and highlight the fascist nature of the BNP and urge people to use their votes and unite against them.
We need people to contact the unite office and let us know you are coming to help and ask others you know to come too.
Tel. 020 7833 4916 or 07838 370374 and unite@natfhe.org.uk
Please circulate widely, and encourage others to attend.
