No to the English Defence League in Bolton! No to racism! No to fascism!

The racist EDL have re-arranged their Bolton protest for Saturday 20th March.  It is vital that all anti-fascist groups build now to get as many people there as possible on 20th March. If you are coming from the North West, please aim to be in the centre of Bolton for 9am.  If you are coming from beyond the North West, please plan to join us by 11am. Further info to follow.

When some locals tried to stop them they were called ‘race traitors’ and attacked.

We are aiming to mobilise thousands of people so the EDL cannot incite racial hatred amongst Bolton's multicultural community. Thanks to everyone who helped. Leaflets can be downloaded in PDF format from this page in the article about the EDL below.
