Deadline: 29-Mar-21
Applications are now open for the Bristol Redistro’s challenge inequality of wealth and power and to create positive alternatives, they raise money from people who have more than they need to get by, and give grassroots groups the power to decide how it is used to create social change.
Bristol Redistro’s aim is to challenge inequality of wealth and power and to create positive alternatives. They give money to support the struggles, fights, campaigns and projects of groups and communities facing discrimination (due to their class, ability, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexuality, age, immigration status or other factors) and who are working towards justice and equality.
Bristol Redistro believe:
- That the current government will do nothing to challenge society’s unequal distribution of wealth and resources.
- That a just and equitable society is beneficial to all.
- In the importance of working with people with surplus wealth to explore and encourage ways to share and redistribute their money and resources in a way that challenges inequality of wealth and power.
- That money and resources should be put in the hands of those at the receiving end of inequality and injustice, to support them in transforming their own situations.
