Beat the BNP Day of Action - Saturday 23 January in Barking

Barking Labour Party are looking for help in the fight against the BNP in the constituency and in the borough.

Their next day of action will be on Saturday 23 January at Wood Lane Baptist Church,118 Wood Lane, Dagenham, Essex, RM9 5SL from 10am-12pm and 1pm-3pm with a hot lunch provided. Please come along if you can.

The nearest tube station is Becontree and lifts will be provided from there at 10am and 1pm.

If you are not a Labour Party supporter (for some strange reason) and you do not want to campaign with the Party check out Hope Not Hate who also have a day of action in Barking & Dagenham.

Update: I meant to post this message as well: -

Dear friend,

First of all a big thank you to everyone who came out last Saturday to help us in Barking. Despite the snow nearly fifty activists turned up to speak to voters and I think that everyone who was there will agree that there were a lot of people who were genuinely pleased to see that we had made the effort.

This face to face contact with residents really does make all the difference. Make no mistake, the BNP are campaigning in Barking and we need to be more active than ever before if we are going to beat them. We are asking that everyone who is serious about seeing off the threat from the far right make a New Years Resolution to spend one day in Barking between now and the election.

Our next day of action is Saturday 23rd January, meeting at 10am and 1pm at Becontree Train Station. We will be door knocking in the morning and afternoon with a break for a (hot!) lunch at 12.

I really do hope that you can make it. Please do forward this invitation to anyone you know who is willing to help. To make Barking your New Years Resolution, text 'BARKING 2010' to 07576 323 109.

I look forward to meeting you on the 23rd.
All good wishes
Margaret Hodge

Beat the BNP Day of Action in Barking this Saturday 9th January

I received today this email today from London UNISON Labour Link (see also Labourlist)

Dear Friends,

I wanted to remind you about our Beat the BNP Day of Action this Saturday, 9th January.

We will be meeting at Becontree tube station (on the District Line) at 10am and then we will be going out door knocking and delivering leaflets from 10-12pm and, after a buffet lunch, again at 1-3pm.

For years the BNP have dreamed of a seat at Westminster, and this time they think they have a chance. But I am determined that 2010 will be the year that dream is put to an end.

Here in Barking we need your support and solidarity to do this.

So it would be fantastic if you could join us on Saturday, and please do bring along any friends or family members who are interested as well.

If you have any questions, you can contact our campaign hotline on 07576 323 109, or send an email to lizdotbradshawdot07atgooglemaildotcom.

All good wishes and Happy New Year

Margaret Hodge, MP

The fightback begins - Barking & Dagenham Day of Action

I think this caption (left) is excellent. This email came today from "Hope not Hate" (Searchlight).

The HOPE not hate campaign is calling on its London supporters to begin the fightback against the BNP in Barking and Dagenham. For too long we have sat back and allowed the BNP a free run in the borough – this is now going to change.

On Saturday 18 October the HOPE not campaign is launching a concerted campaign in the borough with a targeted campaign against their useless councillors.

The BNP think they can take control of the council in 2010. We know otherwise.

If you want to make sure that the BNP is defeated then join our leafleting session on 18
October

Saturday 18 October 12 noon Dagenham Heathway station

TOGETHER WE CAN BEAT THE BNP
