Unite Against Fascism (UAF) is a British anti-fascist group.[1][2][3]
Its joint secretaries are Weyman Bennett and Sabby Dhalu, formerly of the National Assembly Against Racism (NAAR). Its chair is Steve Hart of Unite the Union and its assistant secretary was the late Jude Woodward of Socialist Action.[4]
Since 2013, UAF has mainly operated in partnership with its sister organisation Stand Up To Racism,[5] which has many of the same officers as UAF: Bennett and Dhalu as joint secretaries,[6] Diane Abbott as president[7] and co-chairs Dave Ward of the Communication Workers' Union and Talha Ahmad of the Muslim Council of Britain.[8][5]
