Humanity Not Hate – Community Counter-Protest – Sunday Oct 5th – Gloucester

We’ve become aware that the same group that organised the protest outside the IBIS hotel are planning to march through the centre of Gloucester on OCTOBER 5TH from 1:30pm.

Together with over a dozen organisations and individual residents of Gloucestershire forming a new alliance under the provisional name “Gloucestershire Solidarity Network”, we will be organising a counter-protest to stand with people seeking asylum and against hate and division (we will most likely be meeting before 1:30pm to get ahead of them).
