On April 17th, Manchester's council leader, Beth Craig, is calling on everyone to stand united against hate as the far-right group, Britain First Plans, a national demonstration in the city. She stresses that Manchester's built-on tolerance, fairness, respect, and compassion, with no space for those spreading division or racism. Britain First made their announcement recently, and while it causes real distress in communities, UK law protects freedom of expression and assembly. So the event has to go ahead under police oversight. Craig's message is clear. Ordinary folks reject this kind of hate, and the council's teaming up with greater Manchester police, who've promised robust. Policing to keep public safety first and minimize disruptions. They're also coordinating with city center partners to ensure Manchester stays open, safe, and peaceful, urging all demonstrations to stay within the law. To show solidarity, a new anti-hate poster is up for download. Perfect for windows, workplaces, or community spots, and if you spot hate crime, report.

It via police online forms, one-on-one calls, true vision, or groups like the British Muslim Trust. Let's keep our city strong together.
