Sadiq Khan, son of immigrants, elected Mayor of London in May 2016

05/08/2016

Sadiq Khan of the Labor Party in Britain, a human rights lawyer, wins the London mayoral election in May 2016 with 1.3 million votes to Zac Goldsmith of the Conservative Party's 994,000 votes. Goldsmith's effort to point to Khan defending immigrants appeared to have backfired in the closing days of the election. The Labor Party in Britain lost in local elections in England as the Scottish National Party gained more seats, and the Conservatives surpassed Labor.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
