latest news29th February 2012 Unite Against Fascism 2012 conference reportHundreds crowd into UAF conference on fight against fascism Delegates packed into UAF’s annual national conference today to discuss the fight against racism an fascism in 2012. The 440 delegates, including trade unionists, students, black and Asian activists and campaigners came from as far afield as Scotland to Conway Hall in London’s Red Lion Square. Read the conference report 29th January 2012 Come to the national 2012 Unite Against Fascism conferenceUnite to isolate and defeat the BNP and EDL Please register for the Unite Against Fascism conference The Unite Against Fascism 2012 conference on 25 February is a chance for antifascists and antiracists to plan our campaign for the coming year. Antifascists have staged successful mobilisations against the English Defence League around the country and this year also saw a successful campaign to boot the fascist British National Party out of Stoke-on-Trent and other key areas at the local elections. But the threat of the EDL – now turning its violence against trade unionists and the left as well as Muslims – has not gone away. And now it has teamed up with BNP splinter group the British Freedom Party, creating a new alliance with both an electoral wing and a street thug movement – the classic two-pronged fascist strategy. Hundreds of antifascist and antiracist activists, campaigners and trade unionists will come together at the conference to discuss our strategy for 2012.

Firstly, that young Muslim men have a tendency to be paedophiles, sexual groomers and rapists due to their cultural background; secondly, that citing ethnicity as a causal factor for sex crimes stops racism, and finally, that there has been a ‘conspiracy of silence ‘on the issue of grooming by Pakistani heritage men, which some politicians and newspapers are now bravely trying to break. These myths must be exposed and challenged. They do nothing to protect the victims of sexual violence; they only serve to give legitimacy to racist views and organisations. 14th January 2011 Register now for UAF conference 2011: Saturday 26 February in LondonClick here to register Conference sessions and workshops

6th July 2009 Unite to defeat the fascist BNPArticle by John Campbell, Chair of Yorkshire & Humber Unite Against Fascism The 2009 election result is the latest example of a relentless rise in the BNP’s vote. In the 1999 European elections the BNP won 100 000 votes. In 2004 they won over 800 000 votes. This year it won nearly 1 million. This advance by the BNP will boost its attempt to establish itself as legitimate, national party like similar parties across Europe. During and following the election the process of normalisation of a fascist party has increased. 16th June 2009 Big success for Yorkshire and Humber Unite Against Fascism rally and march
