xenophobia
Haringey Council is addressing xenophobia by backing a campaign against extremism and divisive rhetoric.
Haringey Council formally backed the Together Alliance campaign in March 2026, aiming to counter extremism and divisive rhetoric. This decision, made at a Full Council meeting, supported the alliance's message of hope over fear. The motion noted the rise of divisive and racist rhetoric, which exploits economic problems to scapegoat various communities, including migrants and asylum seekers.
The council's motion highlighted that divisive and racist rhetoric of extremism is an increasingly common presence online and on streets. It stated that false promises seize on real economic problems to target specific groups. No further council discussions or decisions on this topic are currently scheduled.
