We have good news and bad news.Hi John,

Last week, after months of planning, sweat and tears, we were delighted to
launch our new website. The site is packed full of new features to make the incredible range of content
that HOPE not hate produces more accessible. It also aims to more
comprehensively tell the HOPE not hate story and help supporters like you get
more involved in our work. It looks pretty great too, even if I do say so
myself!

But before you click away to check the new website out, I also have some less
good news that I wanted to share with you.

While we were launching the site we found out that HOPE not hate’s website is
under attack from malicious bots which almost stopped our website from working
altogether. The team working on our new website told us that this is a targeted and
sustained attack and that "Hope Not Hate must have really pissed someone off".

Over the coming days we will need to make some emergency upgrades to our website
infrastructure to protect us from future attacks. Can you chip in to cover these
costs and help protect all the important anti-fascist work on HOPE not hate’s
website?

We don’t know for sure who is behind these attacks. What we do know is that this
is likely to continue to be an ongoing threat that we need to be ready for and
protect ourselves against.

We need £2,150 more than we expected and budgeted for. That's too big a gap to
leave unfilled, but it's also possible for the HOPE not hate community to fill
it if 109 people reading this email chip in with an average donation of £19.55.

These attacks on our website just go to show how powerful the HOPE not hate
community is and how threatened the people we’re campaigning against feel.

Your donation will help keep HOPE not hate’s website running which means:

* Journalists will be able to find the information they need to investigate and
report on the far-right
* Teachers will be able to sign up for a HOPE not hate speaker to come to their
school and use our resources to ensure the next generation is part of our
collective efforts to challenge hate and prejudice
* People across the country will be able to find the resources they need to
challenge hate where they live and help grow the HOPE not hate movement

Please donate now:

Nick

PS. If you can’t donate today, can you take a moment to check out our new website and share your favourite bits of content with friends and family instead?
