Engaging

People across the country feel cut off from politics. HOPE not hate is one of the leading organisations ensuring under-represented and disenfranchised individuals and communities are engaged in the democratic process. This might be young people and students, migrants and BAME communities, or those living in private rented accommodation, who have been affected by rule changes to voter registration. HOPE not hate organises and mobilises those most in need of a voice.
