Hi John

With rumors of a General Election heating up, it's all hands on deck here at HOPE not hate. The groups we're up against aren’t just spreading hate —they're flush with cash, too. We run on something stronger: people power. But right now, we're falling short, and we need your help to bridge the gap and operate without constraints.

Here’s the truth: we’re £9,000 away from our critical funding target. This isn’t just a number—it’s our lifeline to keep operating at full strength, especially if an election is called out of the blue. Without these funds, we may be forced to pick between direct campaigning, like leafleting, and the deep investigative work that exposes the radical right.

John, can you help us close this gap and avoid this tough choice? Every contribution counts.

Your donation can empower us to:

• Expose hidden hate campaigns and financiers behind them

• Challenge radical right misinformation online

• Conduct essential research that brings the truth to light.

Bold claims, but with your support we’ve already made huge waves in 2024. We have:

• Called out London Mayoral candidate Susan Hall’s racist rhetoric for all to see

• Launched a huge investigation into the shadowy GB News owner Paul Marshall and his racist Twitter activity

• Called out several Reform UK candidates spreading hate, and caused a massive headache for party leader Richard Tice as its supporter base began to tear themselves apart.

But this hasn’t been without pushback, John. Just five minutes after we launched our Paul Marshall investigation, our website suffered a serious cyber attack from an anonymous source. Meanwhile, our staff continue to be subjected to harassment and threats on an almost daily basis.

We won’t let up now, though. With an election looming, this work is more important than ever. If we don’t meet our goal, scaling back is a real possibility - and that’s a chance that we can’t take.

Can you chip in? Every donation pushes us closer to our goal and strengthens our fight.

Thanks for everything you do,

Chris
