We've come together to stand up to racism before and we will do so again. The violence and the hatred must stop. While immigration has gradually increased in NI over the last decade, crime rates have been falling, except for racially motivated hate crime, now higher than sectarian hate crime.

The racist violence in Northern Ireland is outrageous. Families and communities are in the midst of a racist pogrom led by a hateful few. This violence is fuelled by racist hatred. It is stoked by social media algorithms profiting from hate, and amplified by reckless politicians.

Revolutions happen when the army refuses to obey orders. From the French revolution to the Indian naval mutiny. Will American soldiers realise who they actually are? Will 2nd class Sephardim recognise their true allies? Will poor & non-brahmin Hindus see who the true enemy is?
