Fight intensifies over Church of England's £100m slavery compensation fund
Original: Lobbying, lawyers and a media blitz: the fight to kill the Church of England’s £100m slavery compensation fund
A campaign of lobbying, legal pressure and media campaigning is under way to stop the Church of England paying out its £100 million fund intended to compensate for historic links to transatlantic slavery. The fund, set up after the Church acknowledged its investment ties to the slave trade, has faced resistance over how and whether the money should be distributed.
Why now: Opponents and supporters are actively clashing over whether the Church should pay slavery reparations from the fund.
