BKYP join forces with 38 Degrees
Campaigners from Boris Keep Your Promise, who want the London Mayor to keep fund Rape Crisis centres as promised, have joined forces with online campaigners 38 Degrees.
On the page where you can sign the petition, they say:
During Boris Johnson’s campaign to be elected Mayor of London, he promised big improvements to rape crisis provision. He promised to cut the amount he spent on media relations and spend the savings on guaranteed funding to increase the number of centres serving the capital from one to four.
Over a year later, the funding commitment over 4 years is £830,000 short of what he promised and we have only heard about plans for one of the three new centres. At the same time, reported rapes increased by 14.5% last year, while convictions remain very low at 6.5%.
Matty Mitford from BKYP sent out an email saying:
38 Degrees have a sight more lobbying experience than we do, so we’re confident that if anyone can get a petition to have an effect, it’s them. So please sign and forward if you can. Putting the URL in a Facebook/Twitter/blog etc status update would be awesome too. We’d like to get this out to as many people as we can.
For the sake of transparency (a big deal to us) we’d like to make it clear that once you sign the petition you will be added to 38 Degrees mailing list. We’re only condoning the petition as it’s so easy to opt out of their mailings if you want to.
