NEW BLOG | "THIS IS OUR TOWN, DON'T LET US DOWN—#Coventry community power against cuts: How Grapevine successfully fought back against local budget cuts and what we learned in the process."
Here's a bit of context on what we shared with @actbuildchange.com for this new blog... 1/
A large group of protestors stand before Coventry council house on a cold, dark evening in January with handmade placards about stopping proposed cuts to funding for essential voluntary sector support for people with learning disabilities in the city. Among the messages is one saying: "Cuts today, struggles tomorrow. Coventry won't stand for it." Grapevine helped overturn the plan.
