Fascist group the ‘United Patriots Front’ (UPF) have called a protest in Bendigo on Saturday, August 29 outside the Town Hall in order to protest the construction of a mosque.

The mosque was the subject of an unsuccessful legal challenge a few weeks ago (see : Bendigo mosque survives legal challenge, gets green light for planning permit, Rania Spooner, The Age, August 6, 2015) but may be subject to further challenge in the courts. Bendigo is also home to an assortment of other bigots including ‘Reclaim Australia’ (RA) boss Monika Evers.

After three highly succesful counter mobilisations by anti racist activists, unionists, students and progressives in Melbourne – we need to take the spirit of solidarity on the road.

We are calling on Victorians to stand alongside those in Bendigo who want to see these bigots beaten back.

CLARIFICATION:

There are other events taking place on the day. Campaign Against Racism and Fascism supports these events but will be meeting at the Bendigo Trades Hall at 1pm and marching to the Bendigo Town Hall at 1:30pm.

Please bring placards, banners, noise makers and so on. 🙂
