We Stand Together Against Faith Hate Crime & Antisemitism

Step by step guide to our annual H.O.P.E. campaign

We believe most people want to live in peace and harmony with each other. Most people believe hate crime targeted at people because of their disability, faith or beliefs, gender identity, race or sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic is repugnant.

We use the three hash tags #WeStandTogether, #NoPlaceForHate and SafePlaceForAll because it reflects the journey we want to take people on - to bring people together, to say no to hate crime and to make our communities safer for everyone in the end.

The main objective of National Hate Crime Awareness Week #NationalHCAW is to encourage the authorities (Government, Police and Councils), key partners (anti-hate crime charitys and voluntary sector organisations, and communities affected by hate crime to work together to tackle local hate crime issues.

We say focus on local hate crime issues because hate crime manifests itself differently around the UK. We want people to tackle all forms of hate crime during the national week and beyond.

Use the week as a starting point to launch a year of action to spread a message of H.O.P.E.

Raising Hate crime awareness, improving Operational responses to hate crime, Preventing hate crime and Engage communities to be involved in the process.

Each year, whilst encouraging everyone to tackling all forms of hate crime, we focus around promoting one of our three main hash tags, and through our service of Hope and Remembrance for all those affected by hate crime at St Paul's Cathedral highlight one of the strands of hate crime by lighting the National Candle of Hope and Remembrance for those affected by hate crime in memory of a victim of hate crime.

This year we are highlighting Faith Hate Crime and will be standing in solidarity with those affected by Antisemitism.

1. Sign up to our national hate crime mailing list.

We produce a regular newsletter sharing information about our work, including update from across the UK Hate Crime Sector.

If you are tackling hate crime - tell us about it so we can promote your work too.

2. Like and follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

We are creating social media content which we will share through our social media profiles, please like and share it with your social media profiles and help us maximise social media engagement across the UK.

We have created some Facebook Photo Albums which we would love you to share .

We have also created some Twitter lists that you may find useful. Let us know if you want t o be added to any of these Twitter lists.

3. Promote our message of H.O.P.E. Campaign and the We Stand Together theme.

Here is an opportunity for you to be creative, to adapt our social media content and create your own social media content to reflect the needs of your local communities.

Please send us copies of what you create.

4. Use our hash tags

Tag us in your posts @nationalHCAW or #NationalHCAW.

Make sure you use the word National to help us emphasise that this is a national event and distinguish ourselves from other Hate Crime Awareness Weeks HCAW that take place at different times across the year.

We want to take people on a journey – hence the three hashtags we use #WeStandTogether (Green a traditional start colour) aiming to bring people together, #NoPlaceForHate (Red a traditional stop colour) opposing hate crime in our communities, #SafePlaceForAll (Blue representing blue skies ahead where we can live in peace and harmony together.

We have stopped using the NHCAW hash tag and ask you to stop using it to as there is another organisation that uses NHCAW - who has nothing to do with the hate crime sector.

5. Register your hate crime awareness events with us so we can place them on the NationalHCAW google map we have set up to show events around the UK.

We want to promote as many hate crime awareness events throughout the year as possible, not just during National Hate Crime Awareness Week.

6. Use our updated NationalHCAW Logo

You are welcome to use the #NationalHCAW logo - All we ask is you send us a copy of any materials/resources you produce so we can add them to our #NationalHCAW archive.

7. Network with local authorities, key partners and communities affected by hate crime.

Join our UK Hate Crime Group on Linkedin.

8. Don't retaliate to hate on the internet with more hate

Sadly it has become a occupational hazard for those of us who are tackling all forms of hate and prejudice in our communities, that we may get targeted as well.

Please don't engage with any hateful content that gets directed towards us.
Privately message and alert us about any incidents so we can deal with it privately.
We will document any attacks - so we can help identify the perpetrators and then block and report them as appropriate.
Incidents that cross the threshold into criminal behaviour will be reported to the police and pursued through the Criminal Justice System.
We view any attacks as an opportunity to shine a light on hateful behaviour and content, and may use it to evidence our need for further funding to continue our work.

9. Deal with localised incidents appropriately.

We believe it is important that local incidents are dealt with by the local authorities (police and councils), key partners and the local communities affected so please be mindful about tagging us as a national charity in localised incidents - it is often not appropriate and can escalate local tensions, making things much harder for local communities to resolve.

Consider those affected by hate crime - where possible avoid sharing photos of victims of hate crime without their consent, and do not share photos of children (the exception is when sharing police appeals for more infomation to solve hate crime).

It can also spread fear and concern for personal/community safety unnecessarily.

You are always welcome to flag up incidents privately to our attention and where possible we will direct you to local advice and support services, although bear in mind we are a small team of volunteers, this is not our primary purpose, and it may take some time for us to respond.

If anyone is at risk of harm then call the police on 999 or 101 if it is not an emergency. Alternatively many advice and support organisations are listed on our hate crime reporting page.

10. Remember to focus on the positive, inclusive spirit and intention of the national week.

National Hate Crime Awareness Week is about bringing everyone together to tackle all forms prejudice and hate.

There is no acceptable form of hate and prejudice, and no excuse for using the week to launch any attacks on anyone at all. There is no place for mocking memes. There is no place for hate here.

Always treat everyone with dignity and respect - even those with whom we disagree most strongly.

17-24-30 National Hate Crime Awareness Week (1184819) is and always will be an inclusive organisation, working with disabled people, people of all faiths (including the Muslim and Jewish communities) and beliefs, transgender people, people of all races, cultures and sub-cultures (including the Roma Gypsy Traveller communities), lesbians, bisexuals and gay men.

As the three Musketeers state -

"All for one and one for all. United we stand divided we fall. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us."

Lets all work together to bring an end of hate and prejudice in the UK
