An event to discuss ideas and plan action to tackle racism and work for a society where no one is illegal
The run-up to the EU elections has seen an increased presence of BNP and the far-right, with many predicting at least one BNP MEP will be elected. Workers mobilising against job losses in the oil industry use the slogan "British jobs for British workers". 4 May sees a mass mobilisation for an "earned amnesty" for "long-term irregular migrants" which would further de-legitimise the thousands who wouldn't meet its strict criteria.
How do we as migrants, migrant workers, activists, and trade unionists respond to these challenges? Join Campaign Against Immigration Controls for an afternoon of speakers, discussion, workshops and action-planning to approach these challenges together.
The afternoon aims to bring people affected by, active on, or simply interested in these issues together to share stories, plan action and co-ordinate how we work together.
