Message from Care4Calais
This Christmas we have found a way to make your Christmas shopping easy and give refugees in Northern France what they need most. By buying one (or more!) of the gift vouchers in our Christmas shop you will be helping to make this winter a little more bearable. You’re also showing the generosity and kindness that all refugees need.

Report
Teacher, Union and Human Rights: An Event in Memory of Mary Compton
In January 2018, the Union lost a determined fighter for teacher and trade union rights and global social justice, Mary Compton. Mary was passionate about international solidarity and was widely known and respected for her activities. Earlier this year, the Union organised a one-day seminar in Mary’s memory, building on and memorialising her important work and achievements. The report from this event is now available on the Union’s website.

PSC Lobby of Parliament
Message from PSC:
Support the PSC Lobby of Parliament
On Wednesday 28th November, we will be taking the call for justice to Parliament during the Lobby Day for Palestine. For our message of solidarity to be as powerful as possible, we need your support. Please follow this link to find out more information and take two minutes to contact your MP (if you haven’t already done so).
One of the focus points of this year’s Lobby Day will ask the Government to take meaningful action against Israel’s abuse of Palestinian children in military detention. Help us get over 10,000 signatures for our Child Prisoner petition! We will be handing this in to no.10 Downing Street in the run up to the Lobby Day.

Sunday 09/12/2018 Demonstration: Unite Against Racism and Fascism!
Sunday 9 December, 12.00-15.00: Oppose Tommy Robinson in London – Unite Against Racism and Fascism!
We need to urgently build on the success of the 17 November Unity Demonstration against fascism and racism [see below] to oppose the march called by Tommy Robinson with UKIP in central London on Sunday 9 December.
Stand Up to Racism have called a counter protest, co hosted by the Muslim Association of Britain and Brazilian anti-racist organisations.
Robinson is calling the march under the slogan of “Brexit betrayal”. But this is about whipping up racism and Islamophobia. The leader of UKIP, Gerard Batten, has appointed Robinson as an “adviser” on “rape gangs”. Robinson has a long history of racism, Islamophobia and membership of the fascist British National Party and as leader of the English Defence League.
Whether you voted Remain or Leave, Unite against fascism and racism! We cannot allow fascism and racism to march unopposed on our streets.
Assembly details TBA. Please like and share the Facebook event and invite friends:

Stalls: There will be stalls and leafletting over the next ten days – we need to get the message far and wide. Leaflets also available – please email for info: standupnewham@gmail.com
