VENTRA → DEFENICE SONIANA. ORTH EA COVENTRY Trades Council is organising a Labour Movement Conference against racism on May 8, 1982.
The murders and the string of racist attacks in Coventry during the spring of last year drew attention to the weakness of the Coventry labour movement in leading an effective defence and counter-offensive against the fascists.
Racist attacks continue against black people, in their homes, at school and out on the streets. The most publicised attacks have been on bus drivers.
The black community and workers' associations took a lead by organising a tremendous demonstration against the fascists last year. However, if the threat of fascism is to be removed the labour movement must make this struggle its own.
It is the aim of this conference to develop a labour movement programme that can unite the working people of Coventry in a struggle against racism and fascism and the economic and political conditions that cause them.
