October 4 marks the anniversary of the 1936 Battle of Cable Street, when anti-fascist demonstrators in London's East End blocked a march by Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists. Locals, including trade unionists, communists and Jewish residents, clashed with fascists and the Metropolitan Police sent to protect the march, forcing it to be abandoned.
Why now: The date is the anniversary of the event, prompting commemorative posts about labor and anti-fascist history.
