OPERATION Black Vote (OBV) has joined forces with leading faith groups including The Muslim Council of Britain, The Jewish Race Equality Council, leading Church Groups and others to unite against the threat from far Right groups such as the BNP. OBV will launch a 100- foot billboard poster across the Capital that warns of the critical danger from the far Right at the upcoming elections. The poster reads as follows: If you don’t vote, they win. In the London Elections, Every Vote Counts. The poster is designed in a Banksy Style design with a hard hitting image. The poster launch is on Tuesday 8th April at 10.00AM-10.30AM.

The site of the launch will be South Lambeth Road, Vauxhall SW8.

The nearest tube is Vauxhall on the Victoria Line.

OBVs research indicates that far Right groups such as the BNP could win up to three Assembly seats in this London election, giving them the balance of power in City Hall. If turnout is low, far Right groups could gain political ground under the proportional representation voting system. We estimate that if 50,000 more Black Londoners vote than in the last London elections along with other communities the far right could be defeated.”

OBV are campaigning to increase voter registration and voter turnout by all communities to decisively beat the far Right, and ensure that all the mainstream parties adopt an inclusive agenda that reflects the views of Britain’s BME communities.

The campaign launch will be attended by a host of celebrities and politicians, as well as, representatives from all faith communities.
