Jewish Socialists at Jeremy for Labour Black and Minority Ethnic Rally
16 August 2016: Around 1,500 people, many from London's minority communities, sat in the late afternoon sun in Highbury Fields, North London, on 15th August at an upbeat gathering in support of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party. Among the speakers was Julia Bard of the Jewish Socialists' group, whose words on the controversies about antisemitism and the need for alliances across communities, were greatly appreciated by the crowd. Lots of people gravitated towards the JSG banner. Here is the text of Julia's speech. Photo: Aziz Rahman
