John, hatred and division are rising across the UK:

This year, we’ve seen shocking riots, growing demonstrations of hate, and communities struggling under the weight of division. It may feel like we’re a long way off a Trump-style election result — but we’re not. When the far right are emboldened, they dig their hooks deeper into our communities. We cannot be complacent — we must resist them.

John, we’ve got an expert plan to support more neighbourhoods vulnerable to the far right in 2025 – but we need to fund it together. Your donation will be DOUBLED if you give now. Can I count you in?

YES, donate £10 now (worth £20)

YES, donate £20 now (worth £40)

YES, donate another amount now

There’s plenty to be concerned about – but I want to share stories of resistance and resilience, too. Here are some words from Sue, Kenny and Sarifa, who want to tell you why they’re hopeful:

“Even the grimmest situation seems to pass in time. In my lifetime I've seen the Berlin Wall come down, the end of South African Apartheid and the Northern Ireland peace agreement. By concerted efforts and determination, each of these terrible situations eventually resolved or improved. We can do this. We can make our country whole again.” – Sue, South London

“Recently swastikas were painted outside mine and my neighbours’ houses. We came together as a community, scrubbing and getting rid of the graffiti. People on social media posted about how that behaviour is not tolerated and how it made the community stronger together. It was a positive reminder that there are still a lot of good people in society.” – Kenny, Scotland

“Me and my colleague have run a disability forum since 2012. We work together as a whole family; that's how we see ourselves now, as a family. Where we were feeling socially isolated once, now we feel like a community. Muslin, Jewish, Christians, working together to bring about change for disabled people in our borough. “ – Sarifa, East London

Join Kenny, Sarifa and Sue and hold on to hope John. Together, let’s equip our communities with the tools they need to fend off the far right and defeat hatred:
