Eddie Izzard performs for HOPE not hate

On Monday 3 May we are taking to the streets of Barking and Dagenham again and this time we will be joined by Eddie Izzard.

Eddie is a longtime supporter of the HOPE not hate campaign and he is giving us his Bank Holiday Monday to help prevent the BNP from taking control of the council.

We are now in the short campaign period and that means we will just be working in our key target wards – those that the BNP need to win if it hopes to take control of the council. Each ward will have a different leaflet.

We will be campaigning in the morning from 10.30am-1pm and then we are holding a HOPE not hate summer party in one of our key target wards. There will be food from across the globe and children’s entertainment.

Over 70 people have already signed up for the day … and we haven’t even properly advertised it yet. Following last Saturday’s massive turnout we are hoping to get all six wards leafleted by 1pm. For that we need 150 people. We are once again putting on a bus from Camden and Hackney, a minibus from Bermondsey and encouraging people to get on the 10.10am train from London Fenchurch Street to Dagenham Dock.
