MODEL MOTION:
This branch/region/committee notes
We face a growing racist offensive, with Boris Johnson’s government deploying the politics of divide and rule to scapegoat refugees, migrants and the Muslim community. The Nationality & Borders bill attacks basic citizenship rights, and the government’s CRED report denies the existence of the institutional racism. Islamophobia and antisemitism are on the rise and the Far Right are a growing threat across Europe.
This branch/region/committee believes
Our trade unions are critical in organising the mass anti racist movement we need to challenge every instance of racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism, and opposing the threat posed by divisive racist in our communities and workplaces, the far right, and fascism
This branch/region/committee resolves
