On 30 April 2006, Love Music Hate Racism is to launch in Sheffield. LMHR seeks to use the positive energy of Sheffield’s vibrant music scene, as a real life, working example, of flourishing multiculturalism. Our music is living testimony to the fact that cultures can and do mix. It unites us and gives us strength, and offers a vibrant celebration of our multicultural and multiracial society. Racism seeks only to divide and weaken us.
Following in the footsteps of Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Leeds and numerous other cities across the UK, Sheffield’s LMHR group will seek to provide a conscious local focus for the national campaign. A whole series of events are planned throughout the city over the coming weeks and months, specifically with a focus on the imminent local elections on 4 May. It is essential that people use their vote on 4 May to Unite Against Fascism.
