Another massive demonstration of 100,000 people for Palestine roared through the streets of London on Saturday. The ceasefire is a sham and the movement isn't going away. We have to keep campaigning for Palestine and against repression:
Key dates for Palestine: 12 February workplace day of action for Palestine; 23 February beginning of the trial of Ben Jamal and Chris Nineham, followed by those of Alex Kenny and Sophie Bolt; 16 May Nakba commemoration march. All info here.
The continuing revolt against Trump and ICE in Minneapolis shows the potential for fiery resistance against the far right and state racism. We have to make the links between Trump and Farage here in Britain, and infuse the mobilisation for the 28 March Together demo with the spirit of Minneapolis. 28 March also sees the No Kings protests in the US, plus demos in Rome, Barcelona, Athens and more. The latest supporters to be added to Together include GMB union, NUS and music artist Self Esteem. They join the list here of pretty much every trade union, the Palestine coalition, NGOs, celebrities and more who are mobilising for the demo. We have to fight to make it massive, and for Stand Up to Racism to be at the heart of it.
Oxford's mobilising committee has brought together trade unions and campaign groups. Two coaches are already booked and one is nearly full.

Your Party: Vote for the Grassroots Left
|
|
The election for the Your Party leadership begins in a week’s time, on 9 February. These votes, for the Central Executive Committee (CEC), are crucial for the future of the party. They are an opportunity to remove the self-appointed clique currently running YP in favour of a more radical and democratic vision of what YP can be. We can look outwards, campaign together, achieve democratic structures and offer an alternative to Labour and the Greens. We want SWP supporters to be part of YP, to be active in pushing our politics and to vote in these elections. To vote you must have joined by 5pm on Thursday this week, 5 February. Not yet a YP member? Join here We are supporting the Grassroots Left group of candidates, supported by Zarah Sultana in these elections. All the Grassroots Left candidates have made it to the ballot paper.

The launch of the TOGETHER against the far right initiative can transform the feeling around anti-racism and anti-fascism in Britain. The TOGETHER alliance brings together over 120 organisations and is supported by an impressive list of music artists and national figures. It should give a lift to every anti-racist. See full list and add your name here. There is potential for the national demonstration on 28 March to be huge, and to tip the feeling of momentum towards our side against the far right. It can give a feeling that new forces are joining the movement. The run up to 28 March should see a timetable of mass activity that electrifies everyone who wants to hit back against Farage and Tommy Robinson. If got right, every area should come out of 28 March with bigger anti-racist and anti-fascist networks.
Oxford Stand Up To Racism, Oxford PSC, Oxford & District TUC, CWU South central postal, Youth Equality Coalition and Intersectional Uprising (Oxford) are backing an Oxfordshire mobilising committee. If you know of an organisation that would like to join this or you would like to get involved in building the national march please email contact@oxfordstanduptoracism.org.uk
