Stand up to Racism and MEND say - register to vote now; use your vote against racism
Stand Up To Racism is working with Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND) to encourage get people to register to vote before the deadline expires for voter registration in the general election at 11.59pm on Monday 22 May.
We are jointly producing a tens of thousands of leaflets asking people to 'register now, use your vote against racism'.
We know that whatever the polls say the outcome of this election could be tight with votes amongst BAME communities and young people crucial.
Some parties are peddling the same old lies about immigration. They are pointing the finger at migrants for over stretching services and driving down wages.
Stand Up To Racism and MEND want to encourage every anti-racist to register to vote and to vote against racist policies on 8 June.

UNISON's Campaign to Save Care Now
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 05 April 2017 13:13
A new film highlighting the indignity suffered by thousands of elderly people because of 15-minute care visits will hit the internet on Thursday.
Commissioned by UNISON to tie in with the union's campaigning work on the crisis in homecare, the two-minute features former Brookside actor and 60 Minute Makeover star Claire Sweeney. It is a satirical sideswipe at the effects of government cuts on a service many vulnerable and elderly people rely on and UNISON members deliver.
Members and the public will be able to see the film – and sign a petition calling for an end to these short visits – on the union's dedicated campaign website: savecarenow.org.uk.
