Racial Justice Sunday supports Dale Farm Travellers
By Ustiben
14 September 2005, 3:00pm
Dale Farm residents, who face the bulldozing of their homes by a Tory council, led a procession through St Paul's Cathedral on 11 September, marking London's 10th Racial Justice Sunday.
Flanked  by Polish, Czech and Bulgarian Roma, along with members of the Peace & Progress Party, Dale Farm chairman Richard Sheridan told a rally outside the cathedral that the eighty-five Traveller families in the settlement still hoped to obtain planning permission from Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott.
Members of the Trans-European Roma Federation, linking Bulgarian and Czech Roma, and the Roma Support Group, representing Polish Roma, also took part in the service. Speakers included Kieran Conry, president of the Catholic Association for Racial Justice, and Archbishop Gregorios of the Greek Orthodox Church.
