Today is the day we make ourselves heard. Let’s first and foremost democratically crush the politics of race hatred: the Far Right. In London every vote for the Greater London Assembly counts.

Your no vote in affect becomes a vote for the Far Right. In the battle for racial justice Black people don’t have the luxury not to vote.

Equally we should vote for a candidate that we believe will best serve the interests of our communities, and London as a whole. Ours is an international city, with a vision, culture and its politics that transcend way beyond capital. We must be central to the governance of our capital city.

It’s easy to make an excuse not to vote today. Lets care enough not to do that.
