We hope to encourage other places around the UK and abroad to join us and hold their own vigils. It is time we all stood up together and demand that hate crime in not acceptable in our communities and do everything we can to work together to tackle it. 17-24-30 is a small charity in the UK set up to organise and facilitate the April acts of Remembrance to mark the anniversaries of the London Nail Bomb attacks on Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho that took place in April 1999. Our aim is to encourage the communities that were attacked, the Black, Asian and Gay communities to explore ways that we can work together to tackle hate crime in our communities. The first Vigil against Hate Crime took place after the death of Ian Baynham in October 2009, who died after being homophobically beaten in Trafalgar Square - 10,000 people joined us that year. We hope that you'll join us this year. On Saturday 20th October we are organising a day of Hope and Remembrance for all victims of hate crime, and will be holding a Vigil in Trafalgar Square London.
