National Assembly Against Racism (NAAR)
The National Assembly Against Racism was established in 1994, at the initiative of Black community organisations based in Tower Hamlets, following the community-led campaign against the election of a BNP councillor in a by-election in Millwall. The concern at this apparent electoral progress for an overtly racist party united national Black organisations, anti-racists, trade unions, churches and faiths and many other organisations in a campaign to mobilise anti-racist opinion.
The wide coalition formed around this issue was recognised in the National Assembly Against Racism as an umbrella of affiliates and individual members to initiate campaigns, set agendas and raise awareness on the whole range of anti-racist issues affecting British society.
