ATUC President, Alan Robertson said, "The St Andrew's Day March opposes racism in all its forms and celebrates diversity The particular theme this year is Anti-Apartheid, because it is 30 years since Aberdeen gave the Freedom of the City to Nelson Mandela.
"It is also UN Day of Solidarity with Palestine, a country still suffering from Israeli apartheid. Hopefully Aberdeen City Council will be flying the Palestine Flag that day.
"We really hope that all our affiliates and associates will get along with their banners, to make sure that we give a clear message that racism is not welcome in the North East."
The Rally will be compered by ATUC Vice President, Kate Ramsden and there will be a range of speakers from local groups including Aberdeen SPSC, Aberdeen Anti-Fascists, Aberdeen RIC and Aberdeen CND, as well as local politicians.
