Dear John
The Electoral
Commission has even decided that you - our supporters and activists - must be
considered members of the public unless you pay a financial contribution and
so every email, telephone call or meeting we hold with you must be included
in our election returns.
This is both
stupid and undemocratic but unfortunately this is now the law.
As a
consequence, we are creating a £1 HOPE not hate 'supporter' category so we
can communicate and involve you in spreading our message without it counting
as an election expense.
Become a HOPE
not hate 'supporter' for just £1
By becoming a
HOPE not hate supporter you will:
·
help decide our campaign priorities and direction
·
receive a HnH supporter newsletter
·
be invited to HnH meetings, events and trainings
·
be making a contribution to our 2015 campaign fund
Back us to
continue our work
The new law
has forced us to ask you to pay for the right to be a ‘supporter’, which I
know is ridiculous because you are already the life blood of the
organisation, so in return I want to give you the opportunity to get more
involved in the organisation and have a bigger say in our future direction.
We have achieved
so much together in the last 10 years now I hope you will stand with me as a
HOPE not hate supporter so we can do even more in the next 10.
Thanks
Nick
Ps, I’ve written an essay reflecting on 10 years of HOPE not hate. I’d love you to
read it
