Mark Healey from the group 17-24-30 No To Hate Crime talks to Polari about their planned events for National Hate Crime Awareness Week.

“The ripple left by hate crime incidents around the world touches us all – which was illustrated by the thousands of people who got involved in our campaign after the death of Ian Baynham.”

The 2010 Candlelit Vigil to mark International Day against Hate Crime.

A year after the first Candlelit Vigil, David Watters celebrates the work that has been done.

These vigils of both HOPE and REMEMBRANCE unify and galvanise ALL individuals and communities who share a vision to eradicate bigoted behaviour and, through showing support for ALL victims of Hate Crime, publicly assert that together they will no longer be ineffective minorities but instead a powerful and united voice to affect change in London and the wider world.
