Black Engagement

The black community in London as diverse as any other, but many black people do not feel engaged with local politics. If we can get more black people to vote, get engaged we can be better represented. Local politics is dominated by white middle class people, promoting things they want such as LTN's to push up their house prices. Cycle routes and funding because it suits them, these schemes are often to the detriment of black and working class white people, but we don't stand up and have our voices heard. The recent documentary by a black film maker 'Divided' sums up how we feel. Why not promote this as to why we should vote and why we should engage more.
