Collective of Manchester-based antifascists, fighting from and for our communities. Against all forms of oppression. Get involved: McrAFA@riseup.net!🏴🚩🏳️‍⚧️

All out on Saturday! Oppose far right demonstrations in Salford and Manchester on Saturday. Manchester will be on St. Peters Square (M1 5AN). Salford will be on Bexley Square (M3 6DD). Turn up to either location at 11am on Saturday to show that Manchester stands for anti-racism and demanding actual solutions to our current crises. Richard Donaldson's got it absolutely wrong with the "Great British national strike". There is nothing great about using racism to yet again put the blame on migrants. It's a wrong and short-sighted response to some people's real feelings of being failed by society in their daily lives. Weird and obsessive scapegoating our neighbours will not solve the real problems - forcing austerity on us as the rich gets richer off our backs, and refuses to tackle patriarchal abuse of children. Bring Your friends! Wear a mask! bring stuff to make noise! travel in groups! Manchester is anti-fascist!

Preparing for tomorrow's demo. Please bring anything you may need for an extended afternoon/evening protest (snacks, water, medication, etc.). Please bring a mask both for COVID and security reasons. Please also bring cash and if possible, a Dayrider for the bus. We expect the demonstration to move throughout town depending on factors outside of our control, so cannot reliably provide access info on routes. If you are attending alone or on a small group and wish to join up with others, drop us a DM and we can try to facilitate this safely and securely. Please download the messaging app Signal as this is how this will be arranged. See you tomorrow at 2pm, Piccadilly Gardens, by the Victoria Statue opposite Nandos.

Oppose the far-right in Honor Oak. Despite the Honor Oak pub not running a drag queen story hour, a handful of fascists are planning on protesting against them anyway. We (a group of locals) plan to protest again against their presence in our area, and protect the pub from their vandalism. We've massively outnumbered them for months and we can do so much more with more people to keep everyone safe! Bring your friends down to our joyful community opposition at 9:30am outside the Honor Oak Pub on Saturday 26th August
