This is extraordinary. A charity, without a CEO, relaunches & changes direction from providing information about human rights to "telling stories". It is the trustees who are responsible for governing & directing how a charity is run, yet the letter comes from "the team"https://twitter.com/EachOtherUk/status/1204325287229558784 …

If u complain about the accuracy & balance of stories, or ask if campaigning for legalised brothels & sex self ID fits the charity's human rights education mandate, you are directed to use the restrictive IMPRESS code & get a response from "the team" (thats not accountability)

Yes there is a risk with this approach! The risk is that a charity which relies on young volunteers & has no legal expertise is vulnerable to becoming a propaganda vehicle, giving out unreliable and biased information.https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1204328118242152449 …

The trustees have promised a response. I'm not holding out much hope that they are listening, but this is their responsibility.pic.twitter.com/NcUjt69F5s

This means there is a gap in the market for a Rights Info feed or similar which is dispassionate, non-campaigning and can be trusted with high levels of accuracy.
