Target 2500

Overnight we launched our revamped website (www.hopenothate.org.uk), though not without a few small glitches. However, it looks really good and will certainly build over the coming months. We will be having regional pages, regular videos and reports from the campaign trail.

I spent this morning in Manchester, finalising our plans for our leafleting session in Tameside on Sunday, writing (yet another) funding application and trying to work out a filming schedule for the DVD we are currently making.

Alongside the new website is our first email with Blue State Digital. I hope you’ve all received your email in the last couple of hours – if not then you are not a registered supporter of the HOPE not hate campaign. You can sign up here

Our target is to gain 2500 new HOPE not hate supporters in the next 48 hours. Of course that’s a big ask but the task facing us is huge but the potential support out there is even bigger. We already have over 10,000 supporters so it is quite manageable, especially if we all try to sign a few people up. That includes me. I’ve just gone through the 500-odd email addresses I have and the majority are not sign up so there is work for me to do as well.

I’ve set myself the target of finding 50 new HOPE not hate supporters by the weekend so I’ll let you know how I’m getting on…
