A positive and hopeful message from the organisers of tomorrow's event in Northampton:
"We have been to all the business owners to make them aware and also we have provided information on where they can go if they feel unsafe and where they will be looked after.
We also spoke to the police who are already patrolling the area.
Tomorrow we will meet any hate that shows up with a display of community solidarity, food, music, dance and singing because that’s who we are as one united community. There will be nothing but community, solidarity and love from our side. We will let them know we are united any racism, anti-Muslim or anti-immigration rhetoric is not welcome in our community because we are nothing but good vibes.
We knocked on every door along the Kettering Road front to let people know they have support from the local community and that there is a safe space late into the night *(we are keeping the location confidential so please do not sure it publicly as we need to ensure safety for our community)*
The community is terrified. Some were holding our hands and clearly very upset. Some offered us food and thanks. Even if nobody shows up to cause trouble tomorrow is it very clear that a message has been sent and received and it’s important that we show love and solidarity. We absolutely must ensure non-violence, even if they show up and start something. Let’s not give GB News anything to use as footage for their agenda.
We appreciate you all. The people united of Northampton in love and solidarity will never be defeated by those who love to hate.
