“WE HAVE TO CREATE THE POWER TO CHANGE IT” Len Maloney.

IF YOU CAN PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO LEN’S FIGHTING FUND {HERE}! THERE’S JUST 44 DAYS LEFT BEFORE THE DEADLINE SET BY pfL to remove len from his arch AND WE STILL NEED TO RAISE ANOTHER 10K to see len through!

“On Tuesday night we proved that we are a strong community, everyone made me feel supported and confident in our fight. We’ve only got one chance, it’s all or nothing. The future will be a dull place without social value businesses we can’t stop until we get this job done! The amount of people who had to give up, we owe it to them, to ourselves, and to those who are feeling the squeeze now, we have to create the power to change it! Please encourage others to sign the letter to Sadiq Khan, it’s how they can stay informed of what we will do next!” Len Maloney, JC Motors.

Thanks to everyone who came to stand, dance and sing with Len on Tuesday night! Big shoutouts to our incredible artists Hak Baker, Lilith Ai, Nicki Knightz and Ginga Bill from No Blacks no Irish . Together our community created an atmosphere of loving, hopeful energy!

We’re still totting up the total but we look to have raised a minimum of £1,500 towards Len’s Fighting Fund from Tuesday’s event! We’re almost at 5k now and have until the end of November to raise the 15k target that Len needs to see him through. All the campaigning and uncertainty of the last 18 months have had a big impact on JC Motors’ ability to trade. This is something neither Seb Dance at Transport for London nor Graeme Craig at PfL seem to have empathy for.

We’re ever grateful to the support of the team at Signature Brew E8 for hosting us and looking after our community so well, to Sarah Ainslie for photography and to Barley Massey for expertly running the door all night. And of course, we greatly appreciate all Guild members who contributed raffle prizes!

WHAT NEXT?

These three things are most important right now. We need everyone to ask all their family and friends to:

1. If not already done so PLEASE CONSIDER contributing to Len’s GoFundMe page here

2. Share this link: bit.ly/StandWithLenFF on their social media and via email and WhatsApp. COPY & PASTE THE TEXT BELOW OR USE YOUR OWN WORDS;

Just weeks left until TfL subsidiary PfL plant to evict Len at the end of November. They refuse to see JC Motors’ vital social value that is wanted and needed by Hackney’s residents. Please chip in if you can or share with everyone you know! It makes a massive difference! https://bit.ly/StandWithLenFF Thank you!
