Our response to far right action

The team here have been shocked and horrified at the racist violence that has been taking place across the country in recent days. We have spoken to many of our customers and supporters and we know they feel the same. As an organisation that prides itself in creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone we are saddened that the rioters seem intent in causing harm and making people feel unsafe.
 
We want to send a clear message that we find the violence unacceptable, and we offer our support and solidarity to everyone impacted. What we do know is the power of our community in action, which has been expressed many times over years. We are aware that Southampton is potentially being targeted tomorrow (Wednesday 7th August) and we want to spread the word and we want to raise awareness of the alternative gathering at the Peace Fountain, 7pm, Wed 7 August. More information here https://www.in-common.co.uk/.../southampton-condemns.../
