An anti-racism march is to be held at Glasgow Green to mark St Andrew's Day.
The Scottish Trades Union Congress is leading the rally through the city to raise awareness of refugee welfare and the work of Scotland's Black and multi-ethnic communities and allies against racism and the far right on Saturday, November 27.
The event page reads: "Whether organising against the far right, campaigning for the closure of Dungavel, the fight for Justice for Surjit Singh Chhokar or the ongoing fight for justice for Sheku Bayoh, trade unionists have stood shoulder to shoulder with the BAME community.
"But as we look back, we also have to push back. In May, in a historic display of defiance, the people of Glasgow pushed back the Home Office’s dawn-raid policy and the specific targeting of Sumit Sehdev and Lakhvir Singh. Hundreds of Glaswegians including many trade unionists gathered in Kenmure Street to block the dawn-raid vans.
"We take inspiration from the Kenmure Street protests, but dawn-raids have not stopped and they are just one inhumane example of the UK Government’s racist immigration policy."
The event will begin at Glasgow Green at 10.30am, marching at 11am before the rally assembles at the Renfield Centre on Bath Street between 12.15 and 1.15pm.
