Residents of Doncaster are invited to participate in an anti-racism demonstration on Saturday, aimed at promoting solidarity across all communities. The event is scheduled to take place at Sir Nigel Gresley Square from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, organized by a coalition of local councillors in collaboration with the Jamia Sultanjia mosque.
Local leaders, including Labour Town ward councillors Coun Majid Khan, Coun Gemma Cobby, and Coun Rob Dennis, have expressed the importance of this gathering in light of recent incidents of racial violence and divisive political rhetoric. “This is an event for all communities to come together in solidarity against racism,” a spokesperson for the organizers stated.
The demonstration seeks to raise awareness and promote dialogue around issues of racism and discrimination. Attendees are encouraged to share their experiences and concerns while advocating for a unified response to the challenges posed by racism.
The councillors and community development organizations have emphasized that the gathering is open to everyone, regardless of background. “Come along and let’s raise our voices together for justice and equality,” the spokesperson added.
This initiative reflects a broader movement within Doncaster to foster inclusivity and support among diverse communities. Those interested in participating are urged to arrive early to ensure their voices are heard. By joining together, community members can demonstrate their commitment to standing against racism and promoting a harmonious society.
