Brixton anti-racist march
Brixton, London. Sat 14 Sep 2019
The anti-racist event had already started by the time I arrived in
Windrush Square
and Anna was speaking, calling for freedom of movement and an end
to the continuing persecution of Windrush
family members and other migrants. Many EU citizens - like Anna who
was born in Italy - may be hounded out
of the country after Brexit.
Eulalee who has been fighting the Home Office for 16 years
A member of Lambeth Unison Black Workers' Group speaks
People stand around the square to listen to the speeches
People pick up posters ready to march around Brixton. The posters
are by the event organisers, Movement for
Justice - and they get ready for the march
which slowly sets off
And goes up Electric Lane
'Windrush Apology NOT Accepted - We Want Justice for ALL our Elders,
their descendants and families'
Eulalee leads some chanting
'Racism Drove Brexit - Brexit is Driving Racism - Stop Brexit'
'We are here to stay - Stop Scapegoating Immigrnats - End the Hostile
Environment - Amnesty for All'
Eulalee speaks in Brixton Market
Most people walking past take a flyer. Some stop for some time to
listen. The protest seems to get a very
positive reception in the market.
One or two people stop and argue but most show an interest
'Bring Down the Government - Brexit is racist - No More Hostile Environment'
