In commemoration of International Women's Day join the One Law for All
organised rally, public meeting and art competition award ceremony on
Saturday, March 7, 2009 in London.
This is your chance to voice your opposition to Sharia law and all
religious-based tribunals in Britain and elsewhere, demand one secular law
and full citizenship rights, demand an end to cultural relativism and
racism, and defend universal rights.
On the 7th, meet at North Terrace, Trafalgar Square, 3:30-4:30pm for a
symbolic demonstration followed by a march towards Conway Hall from
4:30-5:30pm.
Then join a public meeting entitled Sharia Law, Sexual Apartheid and Women's
Rights from 6:00-8:00pm at Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL.
Speakers include: Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (Journalist and British Muslims for
Secular Democracy Chair), Naser Khader (Democratic Muslims Founder), Gina
Khan (One Law for All Spokesperson), Kenan Malik (Writer and Broadcaster),
Maryam Namazie (One Law for All Spokesperson), Fariborz Pooya (Iranian
Secular Society and Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain Chair), and Carla
Revere (Lawyers' Secular Society Chair).
Prizes for our Art Competition will be awarded at the March 7 public
meeting. You can participate in the competition by submitting a painting,
drawing, photograph, animation or short video in digital format no later
than February 27, 2009. The goal of the art competition is to expose the
discriminatory nature of Sharia and religious-based tribunals and/or promote
equal rights for all citizens, as embodied by the campaign's emblematic
phrase: One Law for All. All submissions will be reviewed by a panel of
prominent judges, namely, AC Grayling (Philosopher), Deeyah (Singer), Johann
Hari (Journalist and Playwright) and Polly Toynbee (Writer and Columnist).
Also, don't forget to donate to our organisation if you can. Any amount will
help. The March 7 event, and our future plans for a legal and informational
campaign, a speaking tour across the country, a mass rally in November and
more all cost money. If everyone who supports our work and/or who has signed
our petition (6,800 so far since December 10) gave even a £1, we would have
the money needed to move this campaign forward.
We know we have a huge fight ahead and can only win if we do this together.
We must mobilise a mass anti-racist movement that defends people's rights
and lives and gives them precedence over culture and religion.
