March against hate & division Together on March 28^th. Make history from below

The London Socialist Historians Group which organises the socialist history seminar at the Institute of Historical Research has said it is backing the Together Alliance march against racism and the far right in central London on March 28tn.

The historians say that while the media focuses on Nigel Farage and often promotes racism and division, history can be made on the streets and from below. That history can be one of anti-racism and unity.

Some of the biggest and most progressive changes in British society in the last 50 years have come through mobilisations of communities and workplace around the country. From the Victoria Park Carnival on 30^th April 1978 to the march against the Iraq War on 15^th February 2003 to the sustained national demonstrations on Palestine from October 2023, popular protest has reached the parts that Parliament and Head Offices cant.

LSHG Convenor Dr Keith Flett said, the Together Alliance march is history in the making. Its time to make that future now
