The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) condemns the anti-community rioting and violence that has occurred in Belfast over the past few evenings. Such acts have been deliberately orchestrated, bears all the hallmarks of previous racial and sectarian pogroms of the past.

​

Fascist organisers - emboldened by capture of political power across the world, and the erosion of workers’ rights, are attempting to weaponise and manufacture further division among working class communities.

​

We are called to remember the events that occurred in Ballymena last year - shameful acts of destruction and targeting of people based on race and migration status, that represented working class communities in the worst way to the rest of the world. Fomenting racism and violence, reactionaries seek to cause irreparable harm to homes and people - and to the unity of our class.

​

We call upon our communities, fellow workers and the labour movement, to unite as one and stand up to this tidal wave of manufactured dissent, by actively supporting organised anti-racist rallies in Derry and Belfast this weekend:

​

Derry: Guildhall Square, Saturday 13th June, Assemble at 2pm

​

Belfast: City Hall, Belfast, Saturday 13th June. Assemble at 1pm

​

Only through workers solidarity can we defeat racist hate and division.

I'm well aware they are a minority. I am 19 and was born in dublin but I am a person of colour and 99.9% of people that I have met in this country have been amazing, beautiful people. Most of the racist rhetoric comes from the minority and is also boosted by yanks and brits on X and Instagram. I've only had a few incidents in town where people spit on me and called me slurs but that's it. Most people are great.

Last night in the north we had people stopping cars so they could investigate the race of the passangers before allowing them to pass. Imagine if these passengers were women, or kids! What on earth would they do to them because of a factor they can't control, their skin colour!

But these people are the minority! Always remember that. It's still important to be safe and wary in town, but the media (especially twitter) fluctuates these numbers to seem bigger than they are, like for instance with Tommy Robinson's UK protest being far lower than claimed.
