The UK govt has opened the 3rd round of its #CommunityOwnershipFund which is designed to help communities rescue and take control of local assets, such as sports clubs, music venues and historic buildings.
The @luhc says the fund has been changed to give more help to community groups through the platform provided by the #CommunityOwnershipFund
We believe this fund represents an opportunity for Black and Minoritised communities to secure & safeguard assets that would otherwise be lost which is in line with our advocacy for the communities we represent. #CommunityOwnershipFund
The #CommunityOwnershipFund EOI is now open for applications, ahead of the launch of the next application window of the fund.
Round 3 Window 1 will open on 31 May 2023 and will close at 11:59am (midday) on 12 July 2023.
The insistence on Voter IDs was an affront to UK's democracy and cast a shadow on the process when voters found out on election day that to cast their votes they would actually require a form of Voter ID.
The echoes of that affront on the voting process reverberated all the way to the US where @nytimes ran a piece with the caption: Voter ID Rules Are Raising Hackles in Britain nytimes.com/2023/05/03/wor…
A UK Guardian piece called it a threat to democracy.
@TheNatPulse alluded to concerns as “leftist hysteria” in a piece captioned - “England Introduced Voter ID This Week. There Wasn’t ‘Mass Disenfranchisement’, Despite Leftist Hysteria”
