We are opposed to all those who seek to promote racism in our society.

We strongly believe that the lessons of history show that racism and fascism, if unchallenged, will provoke fear and intimidation among many within our city.

We believe diversity is a strength and cause for celebration, and that those who promote racism divide our community.

We have a shared belief in justice, fairness and equality. We oppose racism wherever it takes place.

We declare our willingness to co-operate with political parties, faith groups and all others that take a stand against those that promote racist and fascist political views.
