From Dover to Dundee, activists are mobilising to be in Bolton on Saturday 20 March to stop the racist English 
Defence League (EDL).
After the successful mobilisation in Edinburgh against the Scottish Defence League, UAF in Scotland are sending coaches to Bolton.
The EDL came to protest outside the Harrow mosque in London last year. Anti racists came from all over to support the counter protest there, now London UAF groups are sending coaches to Bolton
If you want to go by coach from Manchester to Bolton, leaving the city centre at 8.15 am on Saturday 20th March, please phone/text Mike on 07903586191.

'Let’s protest against the racists and fascists, oppose their politics of hatred and defend Bolton’s diverse and united community.
'We call on everyone to support and attend the protest against the EDL in Bolton on 20th March.'
