Three Weeks to Stop the BNP...
An Anti Nazi Timetable
Dear All
We've less than 3 weeks to stop the BNP getting MEPs, with all that
entails. While it would be a nightmare to wake up on June 5th and find
we're being represented by a Nazi, it would be even worse if we woke
up on June 5th and found that this had happened and knew that we
hadn't done ALL we could to prevent it. With the mainstream politicians
apparently eager to score as many own goals as possible, it falls to
ordinary people like us to make a stand for the anti racist majority.
Please do what you can-
Week one - May 18th - 24th
Love Art Hate Discrimination Exhibition, Cambridge Resource Centre,
47-51 Norfolk Street, 10am til 4pm, weekdays til June 5th; preview Sun

Leaflet Long Rd /Hills Rd / suitable gigs for the carnival
Saturday 23rd - stall in town
Sunday May 24th - Attila the Stockbroker / David Rovics gig, CB2s -

Week two - May 25th - 31st

Any week day lunchtime - stalls in town / at uni
Friday 29th - 'Unity Friday' - stall in town, leaflet at railway station
4.30 what else?
Saturday 30th - Carnival in Stoke - details here
Saturday 30th - stall in town - anyone not in Stoke!!
Week 3 June 1st - June 6th
Any week day lunchtime - stalls in town / at uni
June 4th - election day - should we do something then - what will election
law allow?
June 6th - Strawberry fair stall
Other stuff it would be great to do anytime
Leafleting (yr own street or beyond)
Huntingdon eg get a stall at the candidates question time (date tbc)
Write letters to paper, let CEN know that the BNP aren't a nice clean
alternative.
Use internet message boards, facebook etc to spread the word
Remember every little you can do makes a difference.
At no notice I spoke at NAS/UWT regional equality conference on Saturday
and inspired delegates to take away 2000 purple leaflets for their workmates
and their streets. That wasn't me making a coherent speech, it was the
obvious rightness of the cause. Tomorrow I hope to make a short statement
in my staff room and give out purple leaflets - no one will vote BNP
after reading them. The harder task is to get them to vote for someone
else.
We've helped create a fantastic anti-racist current in Cambridge and are
in a position to influence many people to strike a blow against
the Nazis.
Good luck everyone; remember, as my hero PB Shelley said' "we are
many, they are few"
