John,

People in the UK care about fairness, belonging and the possibility of practical change. That’s the findings of our latest megapoll of over 45,000 people across the UK.

But if you listen to the likes of Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage they’ll tell you a different story. They talk down communities, relying on pessimism and fear to fuel their hateful agenda.

We need to change the story. We need to show that there are more of us who believe things can, should and will get better.

So, John, will you help us spread that message?

On the weekend of the 18th and 19th of October, thousands of us are taking to the streets and pounding the pavements in our communities to spread a message of hope over hate.

I know that things are tough right now. The cost of living is rising. People are working harder for less. Racist narratives are taking hold.

But hope isn’t just a belief. It’s an action. I often think of the famous quote by a beat poet, “No one way works. It will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down.”

John, that’s us. If we are going to defeat the far-right in communities across the UK, we’ve got to start now.

These leaflets are just the beginning but they mean something.

For every person who’s been scared to leave their home because of hate, our leaflets will show that we’ve got their back.

For every person who’s losing faith in change, they’ll see thousands of us turning hope into action.

For every person wondering how they can help, this will be their invitation to join us.

This is how we win back the conversation. By mobilising. By being visible. By showing what side of history we’re on.

Will you join us?

Together, let’s do something that matters.
