The STUC’s Annual St Andrew’s Day Anti-Racism March takes place on Saturday 25 November 2006 in Glasgow.
Mary Senior, Assistant Secretary of the Scottish TUC said:
“The STUC is proud to be organising this anti-racism event, where Scotland unites against racism and fascism, and really celebrates our diversity and shared humanity. We are delighted that the Glasgow Anti Racist Alliance is sponsoring this year’s event and hope that as many people as possible will participate in the march and celebration, to give a visible sign that we love Scotland, but we hate racism.”
This year’s event again aims to appeal to a wide audience. Following the traditional anti-racist march through Glasgow’s streets, participants will enjoy themselves and celebrate Scotland’s equality and diversity at the ABC Concert venue in Sauchiehall Street. The STUC has lined up a range of activities for young and old alike.
