Islamophobia participatory budgeting: ELREC appeal

Please VOTE for ELREC!

Police in Edinburgh and the City of Edinburgh Council are inviting people to vote for projects designed to create a city free from Islamophobia. Voting is open now and closes at 12 noon on Monday 13th February 2017. 

ELREC has applied for funding to ‘Shared Vision – Your Decision’ – Islamophobia Edinburgh project. We have two projects: one, in partnership with Edinburgh College, focuses on supporting young people and youth workers in tacking islamophobia; the other one aims to organise 4 community events to raise awareness on islamophobia and to address misconceptions on Islam and Muslim people.

You can vote online at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/GQQS75Z or at your local library. You can vote for up to five projects.

Please spread the voice among all your contacts and friends and ask them to vote for ELREC’s two projects!

Thank you.
