Join us at the St Andrew's Day march to stand against fascism and in solidarity with Palestine

Please join us at our Aberdeen St Andrew's Day march and rally against racism and fascism on Saturday 30 November. Organised by Aberdeen Trades Union Council, we will gather in Rubislaw Terrace at 11am to march up Union Street and Union Terrace Gardens, and rally in the Castlegate at 12 noon. 

This year's march and rally will stand in solidarity against racism and fascism wherever it raises its ugly head. However it will have a focus on Gaza, wider Palestine and Lebanon, where the racist and apartheid Israeli government continues its brutal assaults, breaching international law and committing war crimes.

Laura McDonald, ATUC Exec member, who will be chairing the rally said: "The St Andrew's Day march and rally highlights Aberdeen and the North East’s long-standing commitment to inclusivity, solidarity with refugees, and the rejection of far-right ideologies. It brings together trade unions, community groups, activists, and individuals to stand united against racism, discrimination, and xenophobia.
