(1/4) There are several problematic assumptions made in this piece that we disagree with, but we want to respond to the two key points:
1. This article makes sweeping generalisations about the working class (which btw also includes BAME people).

(2/4) This ‘woke’ narrative seems to be the new way to shut down marginalised voices. Social conservatism is not a protected characteristic and is now represented by a majority Tory govt.
(3/4) We are extremely concerned to see this kind of divisive race & class narrative being pushed within the charity sector as an appropriate response to the election. We must recognise the complex & intersectional aspects of ethnic & working class communities.
(4/4)
2. We cannot & will not welcome policies that harm & destroy the lives of marginalised communities and deny them a voice. This govt must also be willing to listen & learn from the sector, not silence us.
