'UNITED IN SOLIDARITY'

Simon Woolley, Director of OBV said: 'Now more than ever is the time for solidarity. Together we show the terrorist that our multicultural society will not be shaken by political extremism, or fanaticism. Our collective communities stand for respect, dignity and a way of life that celebrates diversity. "

Ashok Viswanathan, Assistant Director of OBV said: "In the weeks and months ahead OBV will be travelling the UK holding talks with urban communities, Black and White, Muslim and non-Muslim, urging a rejection to the politics of hate and extremism, and encouraging positive participation in mainstream political and civic society. "

In conjunction with the Mayor for London's remembrance events tomorrow at 12 noon, OBV, The 1990 Trust and The Black Londoners Forum will hold a two minute silence outside Aldgate East tube station with banners reading 'United in Solidarity'.
