What can I do?
To be successful, we need MPs to change the policies that they propose and implement.
You can help, either directly by contacting your MP yourself – and if you are influential this may be a good route forward – or by joining a local group and working with other like-minded people in your area to show your MP that his or her constituents are demanding change.
Resources you may find helpful
Below are materials and resources that you may want, whether you intend to join a local group, or just to contact your MP directly.
-
The Objectives and Values of the 99% Organisation on a page
-
Some suggestions for actions you can take, ranging from the very simple to the more demanding
-
A short presentation summarising the arguments of 99% that you may find useful in explaining to others what you are doing
-
A pledge you can ask local candidates to sign -- their reponse will help us distinguish those MPs who want to end mass impoverishment from those who are happy to see it continue
-
A template for writing to a local MP / Candidate -- feel free to customise. If you are writing to a minister or shadow minister, let us help.
-
A website that makes it quick and easy to write to your MP, or other representative
Local groups you can join
There are a number of 99% Groups you can join for support, with more becoming available all the time. Please follow the links for more details on how to get involved.
