AUOB's Scottish independence march in Edinburgh has been postponed
The group says it wants to avoid a clash between their event and a Stand Up to Racism counterprotest to a planned far-right rally in Glasgow
In Glasgow, a rescheduled racist protest now taking place on the 7th of September wants to bring this hate to our city. Disguised as a 'pro-UK rally' to 'defend our country', in reality this is a rallying call for all those who want to make society less united, safe and diverse.

The far-right are trying to exploit horror in Southport to push their Islamophobic, racist, anti-refugee agenda. This rhetoric led to a violent fascist riot outside a mosque which now others hope to build on to create a climate of violence against Muslims, migrants & minorities
But no room for complacency. It was no breakthrough, but with 500 at it this was the largest far-right mobilisation in Scotland for decades.
We must build the movement that can
