The Indian Workers Association (Great Britain) (IWA-GB) proudly announces that its members from branches across Britain participated in the historic anti-racism demonstration held in central London on Saturday, 28 March 2026.
Members and supporters from IWA-GB branches — including Leicester, Birmingham, East London and West London — marched in large numbers under the banner of the Together Alliance, standing shoulder to shoulder with more than 500,000 people from trade unions, community organisations and civil society groups.
The demonstration sent a powerful message against racism, fascism and the growing influence of far-right organisations in British politics and society. The march brought together people from diverse communities who believe in equality, justice, peace and unity.
The Indian Workers Association (Great Britain) reaffirmed its historic commitment to opposing racism and defending the rights of workers, migrants and minority communities. Since its foundation, the organisation has played a leading role in campaigns for equality, anti-racism, workers’ rights and social justice in Britain. From the struggles against racial discrimination in the 1960s and 1970s to the present day, IWA-GB has consistently stood at the forefront of the fight for justice and equality.
Members of IWA-GB joined the march to express deep concern about the rise of far-right narratives that attempt to divide communities and spread hatred against migrants and minority groups. The organisation believes that such politics threaten the democratic values, multicultural character and social solidarity that define modern Britain.
Sital Singh Gill, General Secretary of the Indian Workers Association (Great Britain), said:
“The Indian Workers Association (Great Britain) stands firmly against racism, fascism and the politics of hate. Our members from Leicester, Birmingham, Southall, East London and other branches marched together with hundreds of thousands of people to show that our communities will not be divided.
Britain has been built by the hard work and contribution of people from many cultures and backgrounds. Migrants and minority communities have played a vital role in building this country, including the National Health Service and many other sectors of public life.
We will continue to defend those values and challenge any attempt by far-right organisations to spread fear, racism and division in our society.”
The organisation emphasised that unity among workers and communities is the strongest response to the politics of hatred and division. IWA-GB also called on trade unions, democratic organisations and community groups to continue working together to resist racism and defend the rights and dignity of all people.
The Indian Workers Association (Great Britain) also expressed concern about the growing danger of wars and conflicts around the world, emphasising that racism, division and war often go hand in hand. The organisation reaffirmed its support for peace, dialogue and international solidarity.
The Indian Workers Association (Great Britain) remains committed to building solidarity across communities and strengthening the ongoing struggle for equality, justice, peace and social harmony in Britain.
