Dear Culture Shifters
As the election gets close now, we have two opportunities to make the case for arts and culture and also to find out the policies that each party has on arts and culture (some of them don't seem to have any). The fact is that this is a real opportunity for us to speak to politicians while they are keen to listen in order to gain our votes.
The first opportunity is a visit by Chuka Umunna, Shadow Business Secretary on Monday 27th April 2.15pm (many arts and cultural companies are creative businesses) and the second is a hustings with Parliamentary candidates from each of the major parties at Dragon Hall, King Street on Tuesday 28th April 6pm specifically to talk about arts and culture. Please take these opportunities to have your voice heard
See you there!
Chuka Umunna visits Norwich
Big apologies for the short notice but I wanted to invite you to an event tomorrow/today for small business owners, start-ups and entrepreneurs with Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna.
He's visiting Norwich to talk with small business owners about the challenges they face and set out the ways Labour intends to support small businesses to help grow the economy. We'd be delighted if you could attend. The meeting will be held at 2.15pm - 3.15pm tomorrow on Monday 27th April at Dragonfly House, 2 Gilders Way, NR3 1UB.
Please do forward to others who may be interested in attending - I'm keen that people in the tech community get to put their views forward!
The venue is a secure office so please RSVP direct to [email protected]
Best wishes,
Jess Asato
