Show solidarity for the victims of post brexit racism

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

On Thursday the 23rd of June the uk partook in a referendum to decide whether we should remain as a part of the EU. As a result of the referendum there has been a sharp spike in racist hate crimes.
No matter how you voted, stand up to racism, show those who have been affected your solidarity.
I'm just an ordinary British person who feels the Brexit campaign has given a big voice to a small minority. Show the racists that we reject them and that we the people will not tolerate that disgusting behaviour.
