Unite The People: Jon Bloomfield & David Edgar

Unite The People In Conversations: Jon Bloomfield & David Edgar.

As populist and far-right movements gain momentum across the globe — from Trump’s return to the White House to the rise of Reform UK and the Freedom Party in Austria — there has never been a more urgent moment to understand the forces driving the populist right, and how we can counter the threat they pose.

Join historian Jon Bloomfield and playwright David Edgar, authors of The Little Black Book of the Populist Right, for a timely discussion unpacking the ideas, myths and dangers shaping today’s political landscape — and what it will take to defend democracy in the face of rising authoritarianism.

About Unite The People:

Unite The People (UTP) is a cultural movement for peace, justice & a future beyond racism.

Born in response to far-right division and hate, we bring people across Birmingham and the West Midlands together to celebrate our multi-cultural and multi-faith region.

The UTP meetings at the BRIG Café are bringing together activists, artists, organisers and anyone interested in celebrating and connecting communities.

Come, share your realities and build solidarity in the ongoing fight against the racism targeting our communities and neighbourhoods.

Together we are stronger. Your voices and support create the foundation of our movement. It starts and grows with you.

*Unite The People (UTP) is a collaboration between Birmingham Race Impact Group (BRIG), Stand Up to Racism Birmingham, Kings Heath United Against Racism (KHUAR), and community partners across Birmingham.

Thanks to Gary Younge and colleagues, supported by funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, for enabling the Unite the People check-ins at the BRIG (Birmingham Race Impact Group) café.
