On Saturday 21^st March, United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a hundred people came out in Newhaven to stand against hate and discrimination and for love and kindness. The event, organised by Lewes District Anti-Racism Alliance and Newhaven Stand Up to Racism showed the strength of feeling against racism and hate with speeches and song.

In collaboration with the Lewes Refugee Support Group (previously LOSRAS) we organised a film night at the Hillcrest Centre, Newhaven, in July. Two films made by refugees about their experiences in this country were shown followed by talks and discussions with the filmmakers.
