The group was founded in September 2012, mainly as a direct response to an upsurge in fascist activity on the streets of Glasgow from far-right groups. We are non-politically aligned and are a democratic not-for-profit organisation with a Committee elected to direct and co-ordinate local activities and events. All members are voluntary and give their time free.
We work closely with trade unions and the labour movement in raising awareness of and challenging fascism and racism. Each year a ‘Programme of Work’ is produced by the Committee which details our aims and objectives for the year ahead.
Greater Glasgow HOPE not hate have had the full backing of Glasgow City Council since December 2012 after a motion proposed by Councillor Bill Butler was passed unanimously by Council; the first Council in the UK to do so.
