Exodus Party to stop Marsh Farm "riot" Luton 7 July 1995.
After 3 nights of "rioting" on Marsh Farm Estate Luton the Exodus Collective organised a party as a peaceful protest against aggressive policing and the lack of amenities for the youth of Marsh Farm estate. It also stopped the escalating cycle of violence and public order policing tactics by offering the youth an alternative - dancing not rioting. The streets were quiet, the "riot police" sat around bored and the youth peacefully partied.
