Hope Not Hate

Message from Hope Not Hate:

Our Hope not Hate T-shirt which (can be) bought from ...
www.philosophyfootball.com has been hugely successful. Not only have the shirts popularised a positive message against the hate-fillled division the BNP seeks to foster, we have also raised thanks to the sales valuable funds for local community-led campaigns against the BNP.

2008 will be a crucial year to stop the BNP. Although they didn't gain more councillors in 2007 across 742 wards contested the BNP averaged a worrying 14.6% of the vote. This year they have a very real chance of getting elected on to the Greater London Assembly, they need just 5% of the vote across London, and in 2004 they came very close with 4.8% but their vote was split with UKIP who are likely to do much worse this time.

How can you help? PLEASE visit the new campaign website
www.hopenothate.org.uk PLEASE email 5 friends or contacts about the website (more if you can!) link to it. Viral campaigning DOES WORK. The site has been set up by our friends at Searchlight magazine, fantastic campaigners against the BNP and entirely committed to broad, community-led inititiatives which have been shown to work, but are neeeded this year in London to work again. As the activities against the BNP develops in 2008 we will write again with details of how to be involved.

Of course our Hope not Hate shirt, the brand new Holocaust Memorial T-shirt and the International Brigade banners range all remain available at www.philosophyfootball.com
