Dear Camden UNISON members,
Here’s one last reminder for our special meeting this week!
Gary Younge on Racism and Resistance
1-2pm on Tuesday 18 Nov, 10th Floor, 5PS
This is a great opportunity to hear a fantastic speaker, author and campaigner here in Camden talking about what is one of the most important challenges facing us.
Across the board, politicians are blaming refugees for all the problems in society. In a context where nazi Tommy Robinson was able to mobilise over 150,000 people to march to ‘stop the boats’, this is a real threat to our multicultural society. But people fleeing war, persecution, famine and more are not the ones who cut our funding or make us homeless. In fact without migrant workers, we wouldn’t have an NHS or indeed any public services. The real wreckers of our society travel by private jet, not plastic dinghy.
As well as hearing from Gary, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussions – what can we learn from our struggles of the past, what do we need to do today and how can we make sure we don’t keep having to do this again? What role can we play as trade unionists? What do we need to do in the workplace to be more organised against racism? And any other questions that you might have!
I hope to see you today,
Liz
