Love Music Hate Racism has launched their biggest initiative to date - a 29-track double CD compilation featuring some of the country's biggest acts. Disc One of the CD appeared on the front of last weeks NME music magazine. Disc Two can be downloaded for free. LMHR & NME - with the support of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) - have also produced half a million empty CD sleeves to be distributed in schools, colleges, workplaces and gig venues across the UK over the next three months. The sleeves will enable people to burn their own copies of the double CD by downloading all the tracks for free from a specially-designed NME/LMHR website http://www.2marketing.co.uk/inc/rdr.asp?a=72734c372784c32 - along with anti-fascist leaflets and posters, artist video interviews live footage from LMHR gigs and much more.
The CD idea came about following the fascist British National Party (BNP) attempts to recruit school students with their racist poison and amid reports from Channel 4 among others of a significant rise in racist attacks and abuse inside schools. The CD has huge potential in taking the LMHR message to a huge audience, getting many new people involved in the campaign to stop the fascist BNP from dividing our communities and schools ahead of next year's local council and London Assembly elections - but only with YOUR help.
Schools, colleges, universities and workplaces are urged to order bulk copies of the CD sleeves. You can order any quantity of CD sleeves (minimum 68 - the amount in one box!) by emailing us: info@lovemusichateracism.com. Please put 'CD sleeves' somewhere in the subject line! The sleeves are free to student unions, courtesy of the NUS, but schools and trade union branches are asked for a voluntary contribution of 10p per sleeve ordered to cover postage and admin costs.
