Saturday 15th October
supported by SERTUC
TUC Conference Centre, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3LS

A national conference to bring together the broadest alliance to celebrate diversity, defend multiculturalism, and oppose Islamophobia and racism.

The shocking massacre in Norway in July has underlined the pressing need to bring together all those who wish to defend freedom of expression and diversity, and oppose fascism
Our hard won rights, including freedom of expression, speech, thought, conscience, religious and cultural expression and defending civil liberties, are the product of hundreds of years of struggle, creating a more civilised society in which each person is able to live their life as they wish and to the fullest expression of their talents.

These rights are under attack on many fronts, including the actions of Breivik, but also through legislation banning religious dress, the building of minarets, bans on kosher and halal butchers, inflammatory and inaccurate media scare stories suggesting that the tiny minority of Muslim residents in Europe threaten the introduction of ‘sharia’ law or ‘creeping Islamification’, and fascist attacks on places of worship, communities, meetings and cemeteries.

The response to those who sow division is that we are one society with many cultures, ideas, faiths and beliefs.  Celebrate our diversity and organise to oppose racism, fascism and hatred.
