We do not need to remind you about the unprecedented crisis in the NHS, but we do need to ensure our voice is heard. We also stand by NHS staff forced to take strike action and seek to expose the political choices this Government is making to underfund and privatise the NHS.

This is also a moment ahead of the Spring Budget to bring people together around an issue that unites us all.

Support Palestine! Two events on Saturday May 11th

From Brent and Harrow Palestine Soldiarity Campaign and Brent Friends of Palestine

The Palestinian people need our solidarity more than ever, and are calling for global protests to protect their collective rights. As Israel continues to flout international law and violate human rights, there is a responsibility on the global community to hold it to account and push for an end to the oppression of the Palestinian people.

No new Nakba! - End the Siege! - Defend the Right of Return!

Organised by: Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Palestinian Forum in Britain, Friends of Al- Aqsa, Muslim Association of Britain

Brent, united against racism & fascism, prepare for National Unity March on November 17th

The police appeal below illustrates how racists feel increasinglyconfident to air their prejudice even in diverse areas such as Wembley. This is happening against the background of the Trump presidency and the election of extreme right-wing parties into government in Europe and more recently in Brazil.

At the same time Brexit has fed a narrow nationalism often spilling over into racist and Islamophobic incidents and here in Brent we have seen anti-semitic graffiti in Dollis Hill. Elsewhere supporters of 'Tommy Robinson' and the Football Lads Alliance have taken to the streets to spread division.

That is why it is important to come togaeher as a community and show that we will stand together and not be divided by these forces.

Local activists from different groups came together at WembleyPark station yesterday evening to leaflet for the November 17th National Unity March Against Racism and Fascism.  We received a sympathetic response and other leafleting sessions will be held across North West London before the event.

The demonstration assembles at 12 noon on Saturday 17 November outside BBC Broadcasting House, Portland Place, LONDON W1A 1AA. It is called by Stand Up to Racism, Unite Against Fascism and the Trades Union Congress and is supported by Love Music Hate Racism and almost every trade union. Join the demonstartion to show the racists that there are many, many more of us than them.
