Reaching out through the entire party and across society
Our campaign began in the wake of the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on ethnically diverse communities, the fallout from George Floyd’s killing and Britain’s divisive BLM protests. In response, we launched our pledge; this garnered the support of MPs including Jeremy Hunt, Robert Halfon, Guy Oppermann and Tim Loughton. To truly make a difference we need to reach far larger audiences and do much more; for that, we need your help. To build this new narrative on race-relations, we don’t just need to work with MPs and other office holders, but we need to reach out through the entire party and across society. Your donation will help us to:
1) Curate a schedule of events, including a high profile event at the party conference and events with local party branches.
2) Recruit a part-time consultant to help get our views in to the media and facilitate our involvement in seminars with academic and civic society organisations left of centre
3) Develop our social media outreach with targeted paid advertising and engaging visual content.
4) Produce articles, reports and policy proposals.
Our narrative on race will be inclusive of the injustices of racism and the principles of patriotism, liberty, individual responsibility and capitalist prosperity. With your support and donations, together, we can redress the balance, redraw the boundaries of the debate and make meaningful change in Britain and beyond.
