Last week, in Parliament, I looked Boris Johnson straight in the eye and told him to apologise for his racist remarks. ([link removed])

Islamophobic incidents rose by 375% in the week after Johnson compared Muslim women to 'letterboxes' and 'bank robbers.'

His dog whistle words are carefully chosen to divide people by blaming minorities for the problems caused by austerity, driven by the belief that this can win him elections.

You and I know the vast majority of people reject the Prime Minister's politics. But because it's those who stand to lose most under a Tory government who are least likely to vote, we need to act now make sure they are registered.

That's why I'm reaching out to you. Making sure our mums, uncles, cousins, neighbours, friends and colleagues are all registered to vote will be key to winning this election.

John xxxxxx, message just two people today and check they're registered to vote. Let's make sure the many are able to fight back at the ballot box.

I'll ask my friends and family to register to vote ([link removed])

Boris Johnson is banking on Labour voters not getting registered or turning up on polling day. Voting by post is a safe, reliable way to make your voice heard, so make sure you register today.

I'm proud to belong to a party that stands strong against the hate peddled by the Tories. I'm calling on you to take a stand. Get your family and friends to register to vote, and let's make sure at the next election we win for Labour.

In solidarity,

Tan Dhesi MP
Member of Parliament for Slough

PS I'm proud to be able to speak up for my own and other ethnic minority communities in parliament. Without empowered ethnic minorities representing ourselves in politics, Boris Johnson and his ilk can continue to spread their poison. So we're working on increasing opportunities in the Labour Party for ethnic minority members to organise together and get more involved.
