Just Transition Fund’s Post

It is no secret that the #US #election affects the whole world, be it developed countries, China or even Brazil. Here is a summary of the top 10 megadonors so far. The power of finance is intertwined and entrenched within politics. The most interesting point are the #bipartisan donations, I guess they end up winning influence no matter the elected candidate. #finance #business #politics #economics

Howard Reed, who costed and microsimulated the impacts of #CommonSensePolicyGroup's Act Now policy programme, highlights the increasingly bizarre nature of policy commitments within party #manifestos. He rightly argues that this is a position that is likely to exacerbate budgetary crises without achieving a significant shift in polling. In our polling and public opinion work for Act Now, we show that even a majority of those intending to vote #Conservative support comprehensive measures to invest in publicly owned infrastructure and redistribute wealth from the wealthiest. https://lnkd.in/gw94Z7Mc

Our general election resource, 'The power of local infrastructure', asks for five policy changes that will enable a new government to work with local infrastructure organisations. The first action we would like to see from a new government is for them to work with the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector as an equal strategic partner. We know that the VCSE sector contributes to thriving communities and should be viewed as a valued partner in all decision-making. It can be an agile, trusted partner in achieving shared outcomes for people and communities. What benefits do you think a new government would gain from working with the VCSE sector? Let us know in the comments. ✏

White House Moves to Pause Federal Grants: Strategic Reevaluation or Temporary Halt? https://lnkd.in/ghR_8Dnm #WhiteHouse #FederalGrants #StrategicReevaluation #PolicyChange #GovernmentFunding #EconomicImpact #PublicPolicy #GrantPause #FederalAssistance #BudgetReview

Measure 4 on the Nov. 5 ballot will reshape how our community funds essential services like schools, emergency services and infrastructure. It might sound like tax relief, but it threatens to strip local control and cut nearly $3.15 billion from services that keep communities, like Cass County, thriving. By voting NO on Measure 4, we can ensure our local leaders continue to decide what's best for our community—because keeping it local matters. Read why it's crucial to "Keep It Local" in our recent article by The Chamber's Vice President of Public Policy, Cale Dunwoody, in his recent article: https://bit.ly/3A1NYS1 #KeepItLocal #VoteNo #Measure4 #CassCounty #Election #NorthDakota

With the recent election results, many in the federal grants space are bracing for shifts in funding priorities. Drawing from past trends, we could see changes across defense, infrastructure, healthcare, and environmental programs. Now more than ever, it’s critical for organizations to stay agile, diversify funding, and prepare for new compliance landscapes. Check out our latest blog to learn what these changes might mean for grant-funded programs and how to adapt. #FederalFunding #GrantsManagement #ElectionImpact #FundingTrends #FederalGrants #GrantFunding #NonprofitFinance #Compliance #PublicSector #GrantConsulting #FEDgrantSolutions #FundingStrategy #GrantAdministration

Why does an independent report card matter for our communities? As the state election approaches, the stakes have never been higher. That’s why we've taken the initiative at the LGAQ to create an independent report card that evaluates the major parties on their election commitments, measured against the real priorities of local communities across Queensland. This isn’t about politics—it’s about ensuring that our communities get the investment, infrastructure, and support they need to thrive. The report card empowers voters with clear, unbiased information, cutting through the noise so they can make informed decisions that will shape the future of our regions. Your voice, your vote, our future—let’s make it count, because every Queensland community deserves to be a liveable one. 💬 #QLDvotes #LocalPriorities #LGAQ #VoteForLocal https://lgaq.news/3WYfzL7 Local Government Association of Queensland
