HOPE not hate is the largest antifascist and anti-racist campaign in the UK. We are committed to celebrating Britain’s diverse society and exposing the people and organisations which promote organised hate both at home and abroad. HOPE not hate is both a political campaign and an educational charity.

HOPE not hate is starting a new office based internship programme, which will run throughout the year. We currently have an opening for an intern to support our national team with the development and delivery of our campaigning and monitoring of political extremists, both during the imminent local elections and in the production of our next two editions of the HOPE not hate magazine. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, creative team player with a keen and demonstrable interest in anti-racism and investigative journalism.
