President of Merseyside Coalition Against Racism & Fascism says,
The event is entitled “Say no to Racism” and is Merseyside’s response to the increase in racism. This is Merseyside striking back. The event has the support of the community, the Trade Unions, the Councils and, very importantly, the black and ethnic minority population and young people.
Merseyside was proud when Liverpool was awarded the European City of Culture, but the events of the last few months is clearly casting a cloud across that award. This Festival will be the beginning of a zero tolerance campaign against racism, and that is why it’s entitled “Say no to Racism”.
A small organising committee has pulled this Festival together in less than four weeks and the day will also have a few local and national speakers as yet to be agreed. There will also be kids workshops, face painting, stilts, open mic and food.
Fundraising is ongoing and donations can be made payable to MCARF 4 St. Anne Street Birkenhead Wirral CH41 3JU
