📢 Change.org Update
 

Firstly, I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign so far — through signing, sharing, and believing in the cause. Also my apologies for not being in touch all this time.

Although the petition has been rejected, this is not the end. In fact, this is where the work evolves.

We are now moving beyond petitions and into direct action and strategic engagement.

🔄 What We Are Doing Now

  • Reaching out to Members of Parliament to push this conversation into Parliament
    Engaging the press and media to bring national attention to the issue
  • Continuing our educational video series leading up to the 60th Anniversary
  • Building a wider campaign to have Notting Hill Carnival recognised as a UK National Treasure by Law with permanent funding
     

This is about protection, recognition, and long-term security
 

🎯 Why This Matters Now
 

As we approach the 60th Anniversary (1966–2026), this year must run smoothly.

An event that generates between £150 million and £400 million for the UK economy should not be facing funding uncertainty.

This is not just culture.

This is infrastructure.

 

⚠️ Important: Please Read
 

I want to be fully transparent:

Please DO NOT contribute money towards Change.org promotions.

Based on our campaign data, paid promotions on the platform have not delivered results in proportion to the money spent.

The strongest support has come from:

  • WhatsApp
  • Direct sharing
  • Community networks

Final Words
 

This campaign was never just about signatures.

It is about:

  • protecting our culture
  • respecting our history
  • securing our future
     

If the system won’t respond quietly…

we build momentum publicly.


Thank you for standing with this movement.

Kelyon "Coach Kelz" Ross
