"Stand up, Speak out, Unite against Racism" at the St Andrew's Day March and Rally 29 Nov

Please join us at our Aberdeen St Andrew's Day march and rally against racism and fascism on Saturday 29 November. 

The family friendly event, organised by Aberdeen Trades Union Council, will gather in Rubislaw Terrace at 11am to march off at 11.30, down Union Street to a rally at Union Terrace Gardens, opposite HMT. 

Tommy Campbell, ATUC President, who will chair the rally urged affiliates to come along with their families, friends and neighbours. 

He said, "This year's march and rally comes at a time where the far right are targeting asylum seekers and refugees in our communities, spouting their messages of hate. 

"Week on week ATUC joins with community and political activists to stand against far right protests and say, "Not in our name!"

Please get along to this march and rally. Bring your banners and placards and and stand in solidarity against racism and fascism wherever it raises its ugly head. 

Let's give a clear message from our trade union movement that we will "Stand up, Speak out and Unite against Racism"

The rally will hear from speakers from political parties and community groups all united in our opposition to racism and attacks on asylum seekers, migrants and other vulnerable groups.
