Altab Ali (24 Oct 1953-4 May 1978), killed by fascists on his way home from work 46 years ago today. His murder sparked a summer of self-organisation and anti-fascist resistance. Solidarity forever. #NeverForget #AllyouFascistsAreBoundToLose
Today, we remember #AltabAli whose racially motivated killing mobilised our communities to stand united against hatred & intolerance. Join us, 6pm in Altab Ali Park for tributes to Altab & the anti-racism movement which became his legacy: orlo.uk/mtUpM #NoPlaceForHate
I am at Charles De Gaule airport. They are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate today. They say the Germans put a 1 year ban on my entry to Europe.
The Arnolfini have apologised "without reservation" for their decision to cancel Bristol Palestine Film Festival events last year, stating that the decision was based on "information and understanding" they now believe was "wrong". artistsforpalestine.org.uk/2024/05/03/boy…

Absolutely incredible that this vacuous, patronising, neo-liberal bullshit isn’t parody… and is made (and released) in response to sending in the NYPD to shoot on students protesting a genocide. An apex of the vain, murderous assurance of the neo-liberal academy. Never forget

Our solidarity with the encampments spreading from @Columbia to @ucl and far beyond. This week we passed a motion demanding @OpenUniversity abandon ALL investments complicit with Israel and the arms industry and to remove arms companies from careers recruitment events ✊🇵🇸
As @GoldsmithsUoL management retaliate with 50% deductions our movement stands with @GoldsmithsUCU: take a motion to your branch OR donate here to help the branch make their £100,000 target here: goldsmithsucu.org/support-fund/
This week we passed a motion of solidarity with @GoldsmithsUCU and agreed a donation to their hardship fund. @GoldsmithsUoL colleagues are undertaking a Marking and Assessment Boycott to oppose 132 redundancies. 50% of academic staff are now in scope and face losing their jobs.
We've started a list of universities where students have started Gaza solidarity encampments ✊🇵🇸 Warwick, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield, Swansea, Goldsmiths, UCL, & Edinburgh so far! Get in touch if you want to add one or a report notesfrombelow.org/article/gaza-s…
BREAKING: University College London (UCL) has begun an encampment on campus for Gaza. UCL is the alma mater of the late poet and academic Refaat Alareer. Key demands from students include divesting from “Israeli war crimes” and pledge to rebuild Gaza’s universities.
Today we re-framed Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait. We replaced the late 19th century gothic fantasy frame with a newly acquired somber gilded 15th century moulding. The figures appear larger and the details crisper without the competition of the incongruous carving.

NEWS: The Festival-style Alexander House in Finchley (1960) is set to be demolished, after C20's listing application was rejected. Designed by Montagu Evans for the Anglo-Dutch Cigar Co, it features a striking mural by Indian abstract artist Avinash Chandra, which we hope to save

Every year on 4 May at Altab Ali park — named in his memory — we lay wreaths to remember Altab Ali and commemorate this pivotal moment in the anti-racist struggle in the UK. #AltabAliDay
In September 1978, the National Front moved its HQ from the suburbs to Shoreditch. The Bangladeshi community and anti-fascist movement mobilised against this racism. In my Parliamentary motion to mark the 46th anniversary, I pay tribute to their bravery: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti…
🧵Today is #AltabAliDay, and marks 46 years since the murder of Altab Ali. Altab Ali was a 25-year-old Bangladeshi worker who was murdered on 4 May 1978, as he walked home from work. His murder sparked mass protests against racism led by the Bangladeshi community & its allies.
Today, we remember #AltabAli whose racially motivated killing mobilised our communities to stand united against hatred & intolerance. Join us, 6pm in Altab Ali Park for tributes to Altab & the anti-racism movement which became his legacy: orlo.uk/mtUpM #NoPlaceForHate
