Scottish Trade Union Congress St Andrew's Day Rally Against Racism and Fascism

Lodged by Marie McNair (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that the Scottish Trade Union Congress (STUC) St Andrew's Day Rally Against Racism and Fascism will take place in Glasgow on 26 November 2022, leaving Glasgow Green at 11.00 am and heading to the Renfield Centre in Bath Street for a rally at noon; believes that such marches are important in highlighting that Scotland stands against racism and fascism, with the 2022 event, it understands, focusing on sending support to the Sheku Bayoh Family Justice Campaign, rejecting what it sees as the UK Government’s abhorrent immigration policy and rhetoric, and highlighting the disproportionate impact that it believes the cost of living crisis is having on black workers; commends the STUC and its Black Workers' Committee for organising both the annual march and their longstanding campaigns against racism and fascism; celebrates the bravery and solidarity of BAME people in taking action against what it sees as injustice and inequality, and encourages people to attend what it believes will be an important event.
