FILM DOCUMENTING THE BARAC MARCH AGAINST GLOBAL INJUSTICE & RACISM ON 27TH JULY 2013

On 27 July 2013 Black Activists Rising Against Cuts (BARAC) UK supported by Operation Black Vote, the National Black Students Campaign, Global Afrikan Congress, PCS, RMT Black Members, Counterfire, UAF, Love Music Hate Racism, Youth Against Racism, Europe, Lambeth TUC, Lambeth People's Assembly, One Society Many Cultures, Lambeth Unite Community Branch, Defend the Right to Protest and other anti racist organisations  called a protest and march against global injustice and racism.

Assembling  outside the American Embassy in London then marching  to Downing Street the protest was called in response to the verdict in the Trayvon Martin murder trial and the inquests into the deaths of
Azelle Rodney and Jimmy Mubenga and the revelation of an alleged covert police smear campaign targeting the Lawrence family, supporters and anti -racist campaigners to express our anger and demand full justice and an independent public inquiry into police spying and infiltration.

Both at the USA Embassy and at Downing Street there were speakers and performers.

NATIONAL PROTEST & MARCH OPPOSING GLOBAL RACISM & INJUSTICE CALLED BY BARAC UK

We organise because we are under unprecedented levels of attack , we march because we demand justice for the family of Stephen Lawrence's, Mubenga, Rodney and Duggan. We demand that the police tackle the racial terrorism of the fascist EDL.

Time to return to our tradition of taking to the streets, time inspire others, time for you to begin the fight that secures our children's future. Shall we always be subjected to searing pain of injustice driven by racism? Can we inspire our young people by organising a fight back?

This is the first in a series of actions BARAC will be taking to make sure the tragedy of racist attack or death in police custody does not happens to you or your family. We have one week and we need a viral team of volunteers that can push this on a daily basis. If have to rely on each other in the face of rampant racism,

Azelle Rodney, the Lawrence's and Jimmy Mubenga Mark Duggan and in America Trayvon Martin - wear your hoodie bring a drum a horn a whistle or a tin can. We intend to make some noise. Make your own placard or banner and even if its just you and your granny come, come,come and lets stand proud against racism and for justice. We simply cant defeat racism by ignoring it and hoping it wont happen to us. Unchallenged racism will maintain its own momentum and austerity is amplifying racism in Britain

International solidarity with the victims of racism
