This branch/ region/ executive notes:
The government is using scapegoating and divide and rule politics as its key strategy amidst the cost of living crisis.
The Illegal Migration Bill, the ‘Rwanda Plan’ and the Nationality and Borders Act have ramped up the attacks on the rights of refugees and migrants to unprecedented levels.
Suella Braverman’s speeches in the US and at Tory Party conference this autumn mark a step change. Her inflammatory language is opening the door to fascists and the far right to organise.
The attempts to link public sector pay rises to increased visa and NHS charges for migrant workers.
A growing attempt by far right and fascist groups to mobilise and seek legitimacy from government rhetoric against refugees & other ‘woke’ targets such as LGBT+ communities.
This branch/ region/ executive believes:
That government scapegoating is opening the door to the far right.
This branch/ region/ executive resolves:
To campaign in defence of refugees and migrants and to oppose legislation that attempts to attack their rights.
To support mobilisations in defence of refugees and other communities facing attacks from the far right.
To support and send …… delegates to the Stand Up To Racism ‘Resisting the rise of racism and fascism’ conference on Saturday 21 October in London.
To support the protest at the Home Office initiated by a number of organisations – including Stand Up To Racism – on Saturday 4 November.
To affiliate to Stand Up To Racism
