A new alliance named TOGETHER has been launched, bringing together more than 50 civil society organisations and leading figures from the entertainment industry to unite against the far right.
The announcement was made today with notable supporters including Sir Lenny Henry, Paloma Faith, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Christopher Eccleston among those lending their voices to the cause.
TOGETHER aims to counteract the division fueled by far-right movements through cultural initiatives, local organising, and community projects. A major national demonstration is planned for London on Saturday, 28th March 2026, as part of their efforts to rally against far-right extremism.
Sir Lenny Henry stated, “We stand for love over hate, hope over fear and unity over division. We’re coming together against racism, join us and be a part of it.”
Paloma Faith expressed her stance against discrimination, saying, “There is no world that I want to live in where discrimination is acceptable for anything. No race, gender or class is superior to any other…this is why racism makes my blood boil.”
Leigh-Anne Pinnock added, “As an artist and a mother, I’m standing with Together Alliance to call out far-right extremism and racism for what they are, dangerous and divisive. We have to protect our communities, defend our freedoms and stand up to hate together.”
Christopher Eccleston commented, “Racism is hatred, stand with us against it.”
