@tajali1.bsky.socialNice to speak alongside the legend that is Michael Rosen at the Cable Street rally yesterday!
@seanawallis.bsky.socialReposted by @tajali1.bsky.socialTaj Ali: 50 years ago racism was everywhere. You could not walk safely in Tower Hamlets. What has changed? Ordinary people united against the NF and rose up.
@manchesterup.bsky.socialReposted by @tajali1.bsky.socialOn this day in 1936, East Londoners stopped Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts at Cable Street. This legacy would inspire generations of anti-racist activists in East London.
