HopeNotHate: Golders Green has won

The anti-Semitic demonstration planned by neo-Nazis this coming weekend has been banned from Golders Green. It will instead take place in Whitehall for just one hour this Saturday....

Over the past few weeks we at HOPE not hate have had the privilege of working with the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the London Jewish Forum under the banner of Golders Green Together, focusing on the positive energy and unity that is alive in the borough.

Over 50 political and community leaders joined us at the launch of Golders Green Together just under a month ago. Jews stood alongside Muslims, Hindus with Sikhs, and Christians with Buddhists, together with those of no religion. Fifty-eight (58) MPs also signed an Early Day Motion calling on the Home Secretary to take action and local MP Mike Freer used Prime Minister’s Question Time to raise the issue. We must thank them all, too....

There’s still our Thunderclap to sign, which goes out at 5pm on Thursday evening – please do support it!

“I’m supporting #GoldersGreenTogether because I’m saying no to #antisemitism and yes to #unity on 4th July” – thndr.it/1dKzhSX
