URGENT….URGENT…URGENT 
Tower Hamlets protest against the Racist English Defence League is on
Despite the ban on them marching the English Defence League have made it clear that they will be holding a static protest in Tower Hamlets on Saturday 3 September.
Unite Against Fascism and United East End will therefore be going ahead with its planned protest. However we have changed our assembly point. The details are:
11am, Saturday 3 September. Corner of Whitechapel Road and Vallance Road (near the East London Mosque) London E1
We have rushed out new artwork for the demonstration you can download it from here:

Coach drop of points
We are asking all coaches to drop of along Vallance Road, however coaches will be asked to park outside the borough and return between 4pm – 5pm to pick people up a the same location. If you haven’t booked your coach ticket please do so as soon as possible, details can be found on the UAF website.
Our protest will also be an anti racist celebration. Our sister organisation Love Music Hate Racism will be organising a music festival which will follow the speakers. So far Nitin Sawhney, Nihal, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly and Josh will be performing at the event.
10k appeal – can you help?
We badly need money to organise Saturday’s protest and carnival. We have launched a 10k financial appeal. So far we have raised over 6k – any amount will be gratefully received, so please rush your donations to us as soon as possible: http://sept3
And finally – come along to the LMHR gig the night before the EDL come to town
