LMHR BattleBus Fundraiser // Vote Against Racism

Aim

To spread an anti-racist message! To encourage everyone to use their vote against racism! To challenge the politics of the Tory party!

A Love Music Hate Racism battle bus will be on the streets this Saturday for the #VoteAgainstRacism #StopBorisJohnson campaign during the general election. The battle bus is going to hit key marginals; Kensington, and Uxbridge, on Saturday 7 December!

We will be heading to these areas to spread an anti racist message, encouraging everyone to use their vote against racism, and to reject the intensification of the 'hostile environment', the institutionalised racism and failure of Tories over the Grenfell tragedy, and to oppose Islamophobia, antisemitism and all forms of racism.

We need your support - please give generously, as every little donation helps towards covering the costs of ensuring that an anti racist message is made loud and clear. We agree with Stormzy: "It is criminally dangerous to give the most powerful role in the country to a man who has said that the sight of a “bunch of black kids” makes him “turn a hair”, compared women in burqas to letterboxes and referred to blacks as 'picaninnies' with 'watermelon smiles.”’

With just a week to go, it is so important to use your vote to #VoteAgainstRacism and #StopBorisJohnson, and we need your support to do so.

Just like his friend Donald Trump, Boris Johnson has a track record of bigotry. He is refusing to apologise for describing Muslim women as looking like “letterboxes” and “bank robbers”. Islamophobic incidents went up by 375 percent in the week after he made these
statements. These comments were one outrage in a long list of shocking racist comments Johnson has made and defended.
The government’s Windrush scandal led to misery for thousands of black Britons who arrived decades ago. People were deported, denied NHS care, and lost their job as part of a deliberate “hostile environment” which Johnson’s government is set to continue.
Whether “Leave” or “Remain”, the vast majority of ordinary people are opposed to racism. Let’s stop Johnson, and vote for candidates who will stand up to racism.
