i do wanna say for those that haven't heard, that yesterday there were anti-immigration marches planned in multiple major cities in the uk and there were some extremely successful counter protests stopping them.

(i am not a fan of the swp but this source is accurate to my knowledge)
in all of these cities the right were outnumbered by the anti-fascists. in some of them, by the thousands. Stand Up To Racism's instagram has a decent amount of footage from multiple cities.
the major news sources reporting on it aren't describing just how successful the counter protests were, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. in a lot of places, the right didn't cause nearly as much damage as they planned to and their marches were successfully cut off before they got more than a mile from their starting point.
all this to say, there are movements against the rising fascism, and you can join them. these counter protests were very well advertised and there will be more. i want to encourage people to see that this is happening and, instead of getting all doomer about it, join the counter movements in their areas. it is working and you can help.
