‘No Mafia’ memorial museum - Palermo, Sicily

Sign in shop window indicates the business doesn’t pay protection money

@naomilong.bsky.social there are lessons to be learnt from Sicily where they have an anti-mafia museum and shops have stickers saying they won’t pay ‘Pizzi’ - protection money. Ending extortion requires a whole society approach and civic courage

Worryingly some suggest they may not get to vote then - even if legislation has been passed by Westminster. These are the ideal elections to engage young voters. Let’s not disappoint another generation! @clairehanna.bsky.social @naomilong.bsky.social @micheleoneil.bsky.social @uuponline.bsky.social

By the time of the 2027 Council and NI Assembly elections it will have been 15 years since the @niassembly.bsky.social voted in favour of #Votesat16 NI was the first place in the UK to vote this way and we will be one of the last to give this right to our young people! @votesat16ni.bsky.social

#BecauseOfYou we are able to support our young people and provide them with opportunities in evaluation, both in our own work and the work of other charities. Their perspective is vital to us.

Thank you! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you to the players and @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk for all of your support! #BecauseOfYou
