On Thursday 29th September, we hung a banner from the Merrywalks bridge , reading “No to “The Light” paper – lies, hatred and climate change denial”. We have previously protested against vile antisemitism and Holocaust denial being defended by the paper, as well as highlighting the “promotion of homophobia and transphobia”, and consistent climate denial in The Light – which is regularly handed out for free in Stroud High St (and elsewhere around the district).
The protest was timed to coincide with a meeting organised by the group which hands out The Light paper locally, hosting the editor of the paper – visiting from Manchester.
Community Solidarity Stroud District emphasises that they recognise their opponents’ rights to freedom of assembly and speech, but will continue to use their own rights to free speech and assembly to challenge misinformation and hatred.
