Heya, would you take a look and consider signal boosting this in one of your linkspams please:

There's an EDL march in Waltham Forest (where I live) planned for Sept 1st and so various local anti-fascism/anti-racism groups are organizing a community presence against them, if anyone in the area wants to help boost our numbers that would be great. There's also a day of action on the 18th August (which is Eid al-Fitr, the day the EDL were initially planning on marching).

Cheers!
