Stop the march of hate
In a few weeks time thousands of racist extremists are planning to turn up Bradford in a bid to whip up fear and tensions. We are worried that this will lead to serious disorder, something this city does not need.
The English Defence League (EDL) claims to oppose Islamic extremism but in reality they target all Muslims. The group is made up of football hooligans, racists and fascists and they believe that Muslims and non-Muslims cannot live together. Over the past year the EDL has caused trouble in towns and city across the country, often attacking shops and homes and costing local people millions of pounds.
They are calling their protest of Bradford "the big one". They have their sights on causing trouble in our city.
Bradford has witnessed enough trouble over the years - we do not need more. That is why we are calling on the Government to ban the EDL protest. We do not want them stoking up violence in our city.
We know that the vast majority of Bradfordians want a peaceful city; not one in which outside agitators turn into a battlefield. We believe that if enough Bradfordians ask then the Home Secretary will grant us a ban.
That is why we have set up Bradford Together - a group supported by people from all backgrounds in our city.
For the sake of our city, and everyone who lives within it, support our campaign.
