NationalHCAW ARCHIVE

NationalHCAW stands for National Hate Crime Awareness Week

17-24-30 was founded in March 2009 to mark the 10th anniversaries of the London Nail Bomb attacks on Brixton, Brick Lane, and Soho. We take the first part of our name from the three dates of those attacks, the 17th, 24th and 30th April. 


Each year we organise the April Acts of Remembrance to mark these anniversaries (view our archive here).


The second part of our name NationalHCAW stands for National Hate Crime Awareness Week which we organise between the second to third Saturday in October each year. The first national week took place in October 2012, it evolved out of the London Vigils Against Hate Crime that we organised between October 2009 to October 2012.


We organised the first London Vigil against Hate Crime #LondonVAHC after the death of Ian Baynham, a gay man who was homophobically abused and beaten in Trafalgar Square, in the heart of London. 


On the 30th of October 2009, Ian's death inspired over 10,000 people to gather in Trafalgar Square, over 29,000 people shared notice of the London vigil on Facebook and it inspired other vigils to take place around the UK and abroad.  We got messages of support from around the world.


Sandi Toksvig, said "today we stand up for Ian" and declared it the first International Day of Hope and Remembrance #IntDOHAR for those affected by hate crime.


This is our archive of the London Vigils Against Hate Crime and National Hate Crime Awareness Week
