LMHR #SpeakUpThursday (14/04/2022)

Episode 46 of #SpeakUpThursday features a panel discussion with Council Leader Darren Rodwell, Deputy Leader of Barking and Dagenham Saima Ashraf and co-covenor of Stand Up To Racism Weyman Bennett discussing how mass campaigning and music prevented the BNP from gaining a foothold in the area.

The panel featured at last’s year’s Becontree festival. A partnership of Barking and Dagenham council and LMHR. This year’s festival will be taking place on Saturday 23rd July at Parsloes Park and we are thrilled to be bringing the music as we are celebrating 20 YEARS of our campaign.
