Information
The English Defence League are planning on marching through Sheffield on 21st September. We want to make sure that the EDL don't get to intimidate people and parade their hatred through the streets unopposed.

Recent months have seen a sharp rise in racist activity. The EDL have organised violent demonstrations around the country, mosques have been attacked and there has been an increase in racist street harassment. In Sheffield, the EDL have sought to control the streets by vandalising a Muslim group's information stall and assaulting anti-fascist protesters.
The EDL are organising a demonstration against plans to turn the Pheasant Pub on Barnsley Road into a mosque, despite no such plans existing. The E...DL claim they are only against Islamic extremism but are yet again showing that they see all Muslims as the enemy.
The EDL claim to represent the working class, but they have attacked trade unionists, anti-cuts activists and many other working class people of colour. They offer no solutions to everyday problems but just seek to divide us.
We are calling for a mass opposition. The more people there are, the safer and more empowering it will be for us all. On the day we plan to be mobile so we can effectively disrupt the EDL’s plans. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter or email us to keep up to date with our plans.
We're hosting a public meeting on Monday 16th September at Sheffield Hallam Hubs on Paternoster Row, to plan the opposition to the EDL's demo. All anti-fascists are invited!
