Our work
What are we doing?
We are building a vast and interconnected network of anti-racist activists across the UK
We are a growing network of anti-racists, migrants, trade unionists, and community organisers. Our anti-racist movement is about our shared collective experience, historical and contemporary. We understand that to be anti-racist is to be against all forms of oppression, based on class, religion, race, sexuality, gender, or disability. Our strength is in our inter-locked struggles.
Why should you join ARM?
What's happening?
We are at a crossroads. The rise of the far-right in Britain, both electorally and on our streets, is not an accident. It is the direct result of a failing racist economy that delivers increasing inequality while driving down working class living conditions. The far-right, and the state itself, redirects the resulting anger away from the ultra-rich and towards migrants and people of colour, casting them as the root cause of the decline.
How can we stop it?
We have seen this playbook before—in the US, Hungary, and Turkey—where organised state abandonment through austerity, welfare conditionality and free market price gouging fractures solidarity and allows xenophobic and racist logics to take hold. We refuse to watch Britain’s slide towards authoritarian rule become its inevitable and irreversible future. We believe that ARM is the key. Alongside Maslaha, Right to Remain and Migrants Organise, we are working towards building a radically democratic, multicultural society free from racial oppression and exploitation. Now is the time to repair fractured solidarities and build collective power.
On the 30th of October, we gathered for our event Here to Stay, Here to Fight: How We Resist the Far Right at Rich Mix London. This event was also the launch of our Anti-Racist Movement (ARM). It was an interactive and collaborative event that sought to jump-start us into action. Our incredible panel made up of, Zainab Abbas, Taj Ali, Aderonke Apata, Jess Mally and BLMUK organiser, Kojo Kyweree, shared their deep knowledge, lived experience, and strategies of resistance to help shape the action we need in these challenging times.
The time is now
Sign up to get involved
There is no time to waste. Reform are leading in the polls, and Tommy Robinson and emboldened racists march regularly on our streets, attacking our communities. We must build an enduring anti-racist social movement that defends migrants and creates the conditions for racial and economic justice for all.
