In less than two weeks time hundreds of neo-Nazis and racists will descend on the coastal town of Dover to try and capitalise on the humanitarian crisis currently unfolding in Europe. As hundreds of thousands of migrants flee from war and instability, predominantly from Africa and the Middle East, the far-right are calling for Britain to “close the border” and stop people in grave need from seeking safety and protection. It is vital that anti-fascists and anti-racists from across the country travel to join the counter-protest being organised by the Anti-Fascist Network.

Basically, anti-fascists are countering the racist demonstration in Dover. On the same day, however, a mass march has been organised to march in solidarity and support of refugees and migrants in London:
Stop the War has come together with other organisations to call for a London protest on 12 September and a day of action across the country on that day. We urge our members, supporters and groups to take any action they can on that day, alongside anti racist and refugee groups.

I put this in 'anti-fascism' because of the nature of the Dover situation but it could easily go in 'upcoming events' or whatever. - edit, could a mod change the title to indicate that this is in the UK?
