This is the message from Moatasem I quoted in my speech at the Newcastle Unites rally. He is one of the asylum seekers in the hotel which has been the target of far-right and other racist protesters since August, with counter-protesters standing in their way every weekend. #standuptoracism

Show the fascists that they're not welcome in Newcastle! Join us on the 27th September at Grey's Monument, Newcastle at 12 noon.

Worth reading this history piece on Byker from @silviefisch.bsky.social & @salawatson.bsky.social

Many more grassroots fights to come, I have no doubt!
