  • Bristol Antifascists Counter Demo 🏴🚩- Saturday 9th August  11:30am – Mercure Brigstow, Welsh Back, BS1 4SP

    Last summer, at the height of the fascist pogroms, we worked and fought together as a community, resisting a full frontal attack against another migrant hotel. They didn’t dare to show their faces in Old Market a few days later.

    Earlier this year, we chased UKIP out of town and they had to flee in police vans. Fascists are afraid of Bristol. Let’s show them they have reason to be.

    Turn out in numbers this Saturday, our strength is together!

    No pasarán!

  • Immigration Raids Resistance from LA to Bristol – Thursday 26th June – 6:15pm

    What does it means to stand up against mass deportations under an authoritarian regime? This is a chance to put your questions to an LA activist. As well as learn the rights you can share with people being targeted by immigration enforcement in Bristol.

    We will have some short talks from the different groups and then plenty of time for questions and discussion and to think about next steps. There will also be zines, stickers and radical literature available.

  • Oppose the far right. Oppose the ‘Great British National Strike’! – Saturday 24th May – Bristol

    This Saturday 24th May 2025. Oppose the far right – oppose the so-called ‘Great British National Strike’!

    Meet at Castle Park from 11am. As usual look out for each other, wear a mask and don’t talk to cops.

    Stand together for unity and diversity, not for racism and nationalism.

  • Oppose UKIP – Black Bloc – 11:30am Saturday 17th May, The Cenotaph, City Centre

    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

  • Counter Demo Called for Saturday 17th May in Bristol

    💥 Action Alert! 🏴 Saturday 17th May 📆 11:30AM at the Bristol Cenotaph (BS1 4UA) 📍

    Nick Tenconi of UKIP has called a demo in Bristol calling for ‘mass deportations’.

    UKIP has become an increasingly far-right and racist party since Brexit and are now trying to bring their hate to Bristol.

    Last year, thousands of ordinary people came out to oppose racism in Old Market and Castle Park.

    It is time for us to turn up again and show that racism is not welcome on our streets!

    Wear a mask, come with friends if you can and don’t talk to cops 🙊

    Bristol is Antifascist!
