Thirty Ninth of 40 Donations

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

The Thirty Ninth of my 40 donations goes to Level Up. Level Up is a Feminist organisation based in the UK whose mission is to build a community of people who can work together to interrupt all forms of gender injustice.

Two cases that highlight the need for society to consider how it treats women are Sarah Everard’s brutal murder in the UK at the hands of a deranged Policeman and that of Gabrielle (Gabby) Petito in the USA whose Fiancée appears to know more than he is willing to share a this juncture.

Violence, harassment and abuse of Women needs to stop.

Level Up’s vision is a world where people of all genders are loved and liberated from the systems of oppression that lead to bodily and systemic violence.

Level Up want a membership from all walks of life. Our race, class, sexuality, gender identity and ability affect our experiences of sexism, and Level Up run campaigns that take that into account.

Level Up want feminism to be easy to understand: Plenty of people care about gender equality who haven’t read lots of feminist theory or been involved in activism. Level Up is the place for them.

Level Up want to have fun: Living with sexism can be tiring. Level Up want to make campaigning as fun and enjoyable as possible and Level Up try not to take themselves too seriously all the time.

Thirty Fourth of 40 Donations

The thirty fourth of my 40 donations goes to the Robin Hood Tax Campaign UK.

The idea behind the Robin Hood Tax is to generate billions of pounds – hopefully even hundreds of billions of pounds, from fairer taxation of the financial sector.

The billions it could raise every year could give a vital boost to the NHS, educational institutions and the fight against child poverty in the UK – as well as tackling poverty and climate change around the world.

I’m mindful that additional taxes are likely to make certain financial transactions more expensive and this risks driving away business but I believe there is a better system than the current one and welcome innovative ideas like this.
