"Sectarianism and racism are major problems facing our community so it’s important that we take a stand against bigotry and ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equally. One of the ways to do this is through groups like QUB Love Music Hate Racism which was set up in September, and is the first such group this side of the Irish Sea."

The first major events to be organised in Belfast will be taking place on Monday 24th November in Queen's Students Union and are absolutely free:
