We have had a fantastic response from our HOPE not hate supporters to our appeal for help. Last week we asked for volunteers to help us defeat the BNP in its remaining few heartlands and ensure that they, and any other far right group, did not get elected onto the London Assembly.

Over 900 people filled in the survey, which given the inactivity of the BNP is amazing.

* 61% offered to campaign against the BNP and other far-right groups in the forthcoming elections

* 17% offered to volunteer for the HOPE not hate campaign

* 38% wanted to get involved in our Research Team

* 55% expressed an interest in getting involved in a positive anti-racist project in their local community.

The majority of respondents were women.

We are beginning the process of contacting everyone but in the meantime I would like to that everyone who filled out the survey. Whoever poses the most serious threat in the forthcoming elections the HOPE not hate campaign shall be ready!
