Founding Meeting of the Greater Glasgow Hope Not Hate Group; Have Your Say and Play Your Part in GREATER GLASGOW GROUP Opposing Racism Within Our Communities

REJECT RACISM Hope Not Hate challenges hate and organised intolerance within society. We mobilise communities by providing a positive alternative to the politics of hate. We believe in localised campaigning, working within communities where the organised racists are attracting their support. We try to build relationships, give confidence to those who dislike racism and empower communities to provide a more positive alternative to the politics of despair. We both challenge the myths and lies put out by the BNP and their ilk and also positively mobilise those people who are opposed to racism. We are not aligned to any political party and will work with everyone where possible.
