UKIP’s leader Nick Tenconi, has called a protest in Bristol to demand “mass deportations” of migrants and asylum seekers. We will not allow this to happen unopposed.
When racists attacked migrant housing in Redcliffe last summer, we proved that direct mass community opposition to the far right is the best way to keep everyone safe: either the cops can’t do it, or won’t.
Don’t let UKIP and Nick Tenconi bring their hate and violence to our city. Stand with us to oppose their racism.
Bring food and water, wear black and a mask – it protects others as well as yourself. Don’t talk to cops, and look out for your mates.
Note – we will be sharing more information about black bloc and protest tactics and safety over the coming days. Even if you don’t feel comfortable joining the black bloc, please still attend, numerous groups are opposing UKIP and numbers is what will help keep us all safe

Urban Resistance to Fascism (URF) are bringing their debut party to the Exchange Basement, raising money for Bristol Antifascists.
Is partying political? How can the movement of bodies resist forces that want to control them? URF is constructing a space where minds, relationships and desires meet with sounds and dance that disrupt and direct us away fascist modes of being. Or at the very least send it on the dancefloor to a genre-mashup of dub, jungle, techno, hyperpop and hip hop from URF’s resident DJs 1nerd, DJ Yulian, Moonhaze and Ki.
FFO: Cardopusher, DJ Nobu, Frank Ocean, Shygirl, Bladee —-—————————————— 1nerd – 9pm-10pm: Dubbed out sounds, ranging from dembow to reggaeton delivered by 1nerd.
DJ Yulian – 10pm-11pm: DJ Yulian will take us on a hypnotic journey through atmospheric ambient techno, searing minimal, poly-rhythmic 125-140bpm techno and maybe a little breakbeat if you’re lucky.
Moonhaze – 11pm-12am: Moonhaze gives us moody, seductive, gothic vibes you can dance to and unleash your darkest desires. Immerse yourself in the electric sounds spanning coldwave, electro pop, techno and much more.
Ki – 12am-1am: Ki presents an eclectic mix ranging from abstract hip hip to IDM, challenging listeners with psychedelic and political sounds. ———————————————— Important Info This is a queer, safe space where anyone can express themselves how they please on the dancefloor, please do not act in a way that perpetuates cis-heteropatriarchy. ANY kind of discrimination or harassment will not be tolerated, if you witness this please talk to one of the URF crew or an Exchange staff member.
