Marches took place in north, west and south London. In north London, up to 1,000 joined the unity march, which was full of trade union banners, Greens and Palestine activists as well as anti-racists. Mothin Ali, deputy leader of the Green Party, spoke to Socialist Worker. “From the Green Party perspective, it’s really important that we’re out supporting these demonstrations because we can’t let the far right on our streets unchallenged,” he said. “We have to meet them in parliament, in councils, but also out here on the streets. Anywhere that they try and go, we can’t miss the opportunity to go and challenge them.” November is Islamophobia Awareness Month.
