The branch is urging all our members to join us the St Andrew’s Day rally against racism and fascism on Saturday 25 November from 12 noon.
Organised by Aberdeen Trades Union Council, to which UNISON Aberdeenshire is affiliated, it will begin in the Castlegate before moving into the Anatomy Rooms, depending on the weather. The rally will hear from a packed line up of speakers, along with music and poetry.
This is another crucial year in the fight against racism and fascism. The racist UK Government immigration policy and rhetoric is going from bad to worse. On top of that we face a cost of living crisis and attacks on pay that disproportionately affect equalities groups including Black workers and disabled people.
We also stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine, as Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza, with the massacre of over 14,000 civilians, including almost 6,000 children. Alongside Israel’s denial of food, water, fuel and medicines, this collective punishment constitutes a war crime and Israel must be held to account.
Please join us and be part of the fight against racism and fascism and for a more just, more equal world.
