Challenging the far right

(2-day course)
 

The success of British National Party candidates in recent elections in Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge, Epping Forest and Broxbourne is a wake up call to trade unionists in East London. The racist division spread by Far Right hostility is the exact opposite of the trade union attempts to improve our lives through a collective action. 

This course is aimed at union representatives, officers and activists and covers the following topics: Far Right ideology, Far Right political methods, dispelling myths about migration, how to organise against fascists in the workplace, supporting anti-fascist campaigns.

If you want to help build a serious trade union response to the Far Right: this is the course for you
