I don’t know about you, but I am sick of the political narrative being dominated by the far right and I am sick of this government allowing Reform UK to colour or even, seemingly, dictate policy. The Overton window has been pushed so far to the right by the client media and the (historically) main parties that the majority of compassionate, tolerant, decent, inclusive citizens barely get a look in. Well. I’ve had enough and so have the tens of thousands who will be marching in London at the end of this month.
The event is organised by The Together Alliance which is made up of hundreds of civil society organisations representing over 7 million people. It is backed by thousands of everyday people from all over the country who’ve put their time, money and effort into bringing the alliance together.
“We are mobilising for love, hope and unity in the face of hate, fear and division, and raising our voices to stop the rise of the far-right.
We are trade unionists and environmentalists, community activists and faith leaders, musicians, athletes, entertainers and elected representatives. And we’re marching together to show our neighbours that we’ve got their backs.
We’re rapidly growing and are mobilising in communities across the country. Our members represent over 7 million people.
At a time when the voices of division are growing louder, we need voices of hope that cut through. Your support helps make unity visible and inspires others to speak out.
In times like these, we face a choice. We can see where the path we’re currently on leads, and we’re not going to accept that future. Together Alliance is here to say “that’s not who we are”.
We may not all agree on how to address the problems we face. But do know this: we can only address them if we face them together.”
