Massive London Protest Against Far-Right Draws Thousands and Political Leaders
The Together Alliance orchestrated a significant demonstration through Central London today, March 28, 2026, with thousands of participants rallying against the far-right and what organizers describe as the "politics of division." The march commenced at 1 PM from Park Lane, marking a powerful response to the growing influence of far-right movements in the UK.
Organizers Highlight Unprecedented Far-Right Growth
Sabby Dhalu, co-organizer and joint secretary of the Together Alliance, emphasized the alarming rise in support for far-right organizations. She pointed to the Tommy Robinson-led Unite the Kingdom demonstration in September 2025 as the largest far-right mobilization in British history. Dhalu stated, "We believe the majority of British people oppose the hatred, division, and racism promoted by these groups, and it's time to take action." She added that the scale of today's protest has likely intimidated far-right factions, who may feel unable to counter such a substantial turnout.
Prominent Figures Join the Rally
Photos from the event captured high-profile attendees, including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Labour MP Diane Abbott, Green Party Leader Zach Polanski, and MP Zarah Sultana. Their presence underscored broad political support for the anti-racism cause. The march featured over 20 diverse groups and individuals, with placards bearing messages like "We should all work together in unison" and demonstrations against Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage.
Diverse Participation and Concurrent Events
Participants of all backgrounds filled the streets, with groups such as Women Against The Far Right and the Palestine Coalition marching simultaneously. The event highlighted unity across different "blocs," showcasing a collective stand against extremism. The Metropolitan Police monitored the peaceful protest, which saw no major incidents reported.
This mobilization reflects ongoing concerns about political polarization in the UK, with the Together Alliance aiming to foster solidarity and combat divisive ideologies through public action.
