“As Palestinians have taught the world, we must take freedom into our own hands. From Minneapolis to Palestine, occupation must be dismantled completely and entirely, or it will keep killing and keep expanding until none of us are safe from it.”

Most people do not share the political views and aims of Raise The Colours. Most people do not hate migrants. Most people do not want their neighbourhood covered in a sea of red, white and blue. What is so difficult to understand about this?

For decades UK politicians & the rw media have stoked racism by scapegoating migrants & minorities. For decades the far right have been thwarted in their attempts to turn this to their advantage. Now they are close to power & Starmer seems determined to help them over the line. #StandUpToRacism

What's going on in Gaza is worse than you think - it's that bad. www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...

Calls to 'Stop the boats', claims that migrants are 'illegal and protests at asylum Hotels directly lead to racist attacks. And Farage, Badenoch and Starmer are feeding that hatred. Join this vigil in solidarity with a young Sikh woman who suffered a brutal racist attack in Oldbury last week.

There is an anti-racist majority in this country. The far right do not go unopposed. There are people in this country who are standing in solidarity with refugees and against what the far right represent. #StandUpToRacism #RefugeesWelcome #ActNow

Removed for calling out the fascists. Silenced for calling out a mass movement against them.

Tomorrow, 13 September, workers from across the trade union movement will join a union bloc in Russell Square, London at 12pm. Find out more about the counter-mobilisation against fascism and read NUJ advice on covering protests. www.nuj.org.uk/resource/mar...

Last year, UK billionaires’ wealth grew by £35 million a day. Meanwhile, the fire service has been cut to the bone and is facing more cuts. It's time for the richest in society to invest in public services through a wealth tax.

True pride is inclusive. The best way to show love for Birmingham is not through one symbol alone, but through celebrating everyone who calls this city home. #BrumTogether #RefugeesWelcome #StopTheFarRight #StandUpToRacism #Pride #Unity #Grassroots tinyurl.com/brumtogether...

Operation raise the colours: 🧵 1/12 2 mini-islands on my road now painted to be Saint George's flags. I don't think quoting legislation about what the council does or doesn't allow in terms of flag poles etc is an adequate or even helpful response to what is going on in the UK at the moment.

Opposing far right protesters in Birmingham. They chose the steps of St Martin-in-the-Bull Ring for their ‘strike’, a church that is renowned for the support and sanctuary it offers to refugees (and is a participant in the Church of England’s Net Zero Programme).

Organisations and prominent figures across the West Midlands, including Zarah Sultana MP, have signed a statement calling for a stop to the fascists marching in Birmingham and supporting the counter-demonstration. #standuptoracism

It would seem that Birmingham City Council have been persuaded that fascist Britain First should never have been promised Victoria Square for their rally in the first place! #refugeeswelcome #standuptoracism #brumunited #noplaceforhate

Why are fascist Britain First being allowed to march in Birmingham city centre and rally in Victoria Square? Please sign this statement initiated by Stand Up To Racism Birmingham and other anti-racist organisations: #brumunited #noplaceforhate bit.ly/StopBritainFirstInBrum
