- Motion text
Congress is concerned that recent reporting around the increased 'liberalisation' of attitudes in Britain in relation to equality and tolerance and masks the increased rise in actual incidents of violence linked to homophobia, racism, sexism and Islamophobia.
This coincides with the rise of the BNP/EDL.
Congress calls on the NEC to:
Raise awareness with members of incidents of hate crimes, particularly when members or students are involved.
Work with other unions and local groups to campaign against such incidents.
Respond with strong press statements to combat any minimising of these real concerns.
Continue to support the work of Unite Against Fascism.
