Stop the BNP
Unison’s campaign against the British National Party is organised at a National, Regional and local level. For more information on the National campaign go check our national website: www.unison.org.uk
We work closely with local groups who support UNISON's Aims and Objectives and are aiming to continue this important work in the run up to local and general election. UNISON’s 'Million Voices' campaign is setting out our agenda for public services. However the work is not just about the elections, it is also about dispelling the lies and myths that the BNP spread about the public services.
The threats to jobs and front line services will be at the fore front of election campaigns. We must do all that we can to make sure that our members and their families vote in the forthcoming elections, as a low turnout benefits the far right organisations and may see the return of a BNP member of Parliament- we say: 'Not in our Name!'
How can you help? We need people to deliver leaflets and make contact with local organisations so that together we can make a real difference.
If you would like to be involved in this year's campaign, please contact us via your local branch.
One member of UNISON staff commented:
" I was leafleting in the pouring rain outside the train station, the umbrella had broken due to gale force winds and one of our black members came up to me and said’ I’m so proud of you for standing up for me, thank you for being there’"
Join us its hard work but can we make a difference – yes we can!
