A large crowd of anti-racism protesters gathered today in Glasgow’s George Square to oppose a planned anti-immigration demonstration. The event, which began at midday, aimed to deliver a strong message of unity and inclusivity, standing firmly against hate and division.
Organizers encouraged supporters to join under the banners of slogans such as “#StopRacism,” “#RefugeesWelcome,” and “#UnityNotDivision.” The rally was organized as a direct response to what the activists have described as a “racist anti-immigration mobilization.
Protesters called for solidarity across various fronts, including standing against far-right ideologies, Islamophobia, and discrimination. The demonstration seeks to bring attention to immigration policies and to promote tolerance, acceptance, and inclusivity within society.
Authorities in Glasgow have made provisions to ensure public safety due to the expected influx of demonstrators. Community leaders have urged for peaceful expressions of differing views as Glasgow prepares to navigate the divisive nature of the ongoing debate on immigration and race-related issues.
