MARCH AGAINST HATE TOMORROW

Submitted by Editor on

In a show of solidarity against the Nazi symbols and racist graffiti which have begun appearing around Leith in recent weeks, a march is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. 

The ‘United Colours of Leith’ event will be peaceful, non-party-political and inter-faith. It wil also be well policed and stewarded so that everyone taking part can feel safe.

All members of the community are welcome, whether from this part of the capital or not.

Organisers promise  a ‘celebration of the colour, the glitter and the fabulous diversity that makes Leith such a special part of Edinburgh’.

Participants will gather in Pilrig Park for a 2pm start, and head for Leith Links via Pilrig Street, Leith Walk and Constitution Street. There will be a couple of short speeches at the end, and then live music.

You can stay longer if you like, but the event itself will be over by 4pm.
