Remembering the great Darcus Howe who died 5 years ago. Here he is rousing anti fascists at the great 1977. An inspiring figure who fought oppression, racism & fascism. Many will remember Race Today & his stoic resistance.

Hundreds of antiracists and antifascists gathered in Batley to oppose threats of fascists and racists marching through the town where Jo Cox was murdered by a Far Right extremist.

Facist Tommy Robinson had been set to Join For Britain’s Anne Marie Waters in the town - to boost her campaign in the Batley & Spen by-election but Robinson and For Britain were a no show today.

Despite a very big police presence trade unionists, campaigners and members of the Muslim community rallied and eventually marched through town.

Whose streets - our streets!

Every picture tells a story...Tommy Robinson leaves the High Court today. No stage, no crowds, nothing, unlike 2 years ago.
For now, he's down. Anti fascists put him where he is 😀

The late, great Marek Edelman, a key fighter of the Warsaw Ghetto resistance to the N**is, would lay daffodils by the monument to the Ghetto fallen in Warsaw, each year.
Daffodils symbolise respect, hope, remembrance.
They bloom in April, the month of the Jewish rising against the n***s, that happened on this day in 1943. We remember...we'll resist.

We are all Mohammed Saleem

Mohammad Saleem was brutally attacked and killed by a neo-N**i terrorist whilst walking home from his local mosque. The very same N**i went on a three-month bombing campaign and put bombs outside three mosques across the West Midlands. This was one of the biggest acts of terrorism on UK soil. Yet, to this day most people have no idea about this case. This is in part due to the silence of mainstream media.

Attacks of this nature do not happen in a vacuum. Individuals are emboldened to act on their hate because they are empowered by the endless racism across social media, Islamophobic headlines that we are exposed to daily, and the anti-Muslim policies pushed through by our government.

Each day that we see the normalisation of islamophobia growing, we are more and more at risk of facing such attacks. We must stand up, organise against this dangerous climate of hate and refuse to accept the dehumanisation of Muslims, collectively proclaiming...

·We will not be your scapegoats.
·We will not be your punching bags.
·We will not be your far-right re-election campaign.
·We are not your excuse to spy, surveillance and curtail civil liberties.

How You Can Help

On Mohammed Saleem’s 8-year anniversary we would like you to film and share your story and include the words: “I am Mohammad Saleem”.

You can also contribute by simply saying ‘I Am Mohammed Saleem’.

Please follow these simple notes:

1. Film on your phone in landscape mode (not portrait).
2. Describe a particular racist/Islamophobic/xenophobic experience of incident that happened to you. It can be as short as a few sentences.
3. End with the words I am Mohammad Saleem.

For example,

“Getting called N-word on the bus. I am Mohammad Saleem”

“My prime minister calling me a bank robber because of the religious marker I choose to wear. I am Mohammad Saleem”

“Priti Patel demonising immigrants, hunting them at sea and locking them up in detention centres, I Am Mohammed Saleem”.

Please remember to tag and

**Please send your footage as soon as possible. I want to run the campaign throughout the month of April and on dad’s anniversary 29th April 2021, I want to put all the footage together and make a powerful video highlighting the rise of Islamophobia today**

Aims of the Campaign

*For my father’s killing to be officially recognised as an act of terrorism. Pavlo Lapshyn who murdered my father was charged under section 2 of the Explosive Substances Act 1883 and section 5 (1) of the Terrorism Act 2006.

*For the formal and legal adoption of the definition of Islamophobia in the UK. The government continues to reject the Islamophobia definition put forward by several political parties. How can we tackle the rise of Islamophobia without a definition of what it is?

It is imperative we challenge the UK government throughout this important month which marks the anniversary of the brutal Islamophobic killing of Mohammed Saleem and the three mosque bombings.
