together against
the Far-right
Join the Fashion Against Fascism bloc on the national demo in London on 28 March.
The far-right is here to claim space on our streets, and power in our institutions.
This is an invitation to all fashion practitioners, activists, students, and workers to join us in defeating them.
We oppose the far right because we know that the history of fashion in the UK is one of migration – from the Huguenots, to Jewish and Bangladeshi communities, to generation after generation of students, factory workers and designers from all round the world – migration built a global fashion capital. And this goes on today with migrant workers in Leicester being paid less than the minimum wage to produce high street fashion.
We want the UK to be country that welcomes and values migration, work and creativity. We want safe workplaces, fair wages and an appreciation of skills for everybody.
We also oppose the far right because we know that the real problem in this country is corporations and billionaires not migrants. The Rana Plaza Solidarity Collective came together to mark the injustice of the Rana Plaza factory collapse that killed 1,138 people in Bangladesh in 2013. We keep organising together because we know that injustice is built into the fabric of our world, that power is still held at the top by too few, and the price for greed, extraction and extreme wealth is paid by those who have the least.
Reform, like Trump, Modi and Netanyahu have nothing to offer working people.
They organise by sharing hate and will not rebuild our communities or our country. They want a world where one culture, one race, one religion dominates.
In contrast, we celebrate diversity, creativity and community. We welcome migration while standing against the imperialism that we see in the garment industry – centuries of plunder of global south countries for the convenience and enrichment of the west.
Are you coming? Wear something red!
To make our bloc distinctive, we’ll do an antifascist catwalk, fashion and garment worker themed chants, and we’ll all wear something red. It can be a scarf, a t-shirt, a bag or you can come head to toes in red. It’s up to you!
