Anti-Racism Conference to Address Far-Right Challenges

Upcoming event focuses on collective power and community solidarity

An anti-racism conference titled “Fighting the Far Right: Anti-Racism, Collective Power + Communities” is scheduled to take place in Bradford on Saturday, 31 January 2026. The event aims to bring together Black workers, organisers, activists, and allies to discuss strategies for resisting far-right politics and promoting solidarity within communities.
