It'll take place on Thursday, 16th November, 730pm, at the Friends Meeting House. That's on Hill Street, leading off Corporation Street towards the ring road, behind Bonds Hospital.
There was a recent attack on Fairfax Street in the centre of town upon a woman wearing the hijab, and many of the reader reactions in the Evening Telegraph to the "wear your veil in court" series of articles could be summarised as "do as Jack Straw tells you or go back where you came from." It'll be important to attend, if only to hear a variety of opinions on the issue.
Speakers will include: Zubada Akhtar (Birmingham Unison), Ashad Ali (Stop the War Coalition), Dawud Bone (Coventry Circle), Rev. Viv Gasteen (Methodist Central Hall), Paul McGowan (Churches Together in Earlsdon & Chapelfields), Cllr. Andy Matchet (Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, Health and Equalities), and Balbir Sohal (Advisory Teacher Citizenship, PSHE & Equalities).
