A new campaign has launched today, called Boris Keep Your Promise. They say:

There is only one remaining Rape Crisis centre for the whole of London.

That’s one small centre for 3.9 million women. The staff and volunteers who run the centre work with constant danger of closing over their heads and can never be sure that their core funding costs can be met from year to year. During the run-up to his election, Boris Johnson promised, with much PR fanfare, to pay for three new centres and fund the only remaining centre for at least 4 years. That he will fulfill that promise, or even part of it, is now seriously in doubt.

Of course Boris Johnson breaking campaign promises is nothing new but this one matters a lot. Spread the word please! Here’s their website, Facebook group and Twitter page (#boriskeepyourpromise). There is also a fundraising event on 4th June.
