Last night saw an event in Bolton held directly in answer to the outrageous hash tag campaign ‘ Punish a Muslim Day’
Organised by Unite Against Facism, Bolton Trades Council, BCOM and other organisations, the event at the STEPS centre saw over 70 people attending to ‘Stand Up to Islamaphobia’
Local councillors including Linda Thomas and local MP Yasmin Qureshi attended and spoke alongside Neil McAlister ( pictured) chair of Bolton Trades Council.

More events will follow and we will publicise them via this website and social media
