What can I do?
To be successful in ending mass impoverishment, we need MPs to change the policies that they propose and implement. And we have plans for doing this.
But first, we need to spread the message — our ability to apply pressure will be proportional to the number of people who know about and support the 99% Organisation. And this is where you can help right now.
You almost certainly have friends and acquaintances who are also concerned about the future, either for their own sake or for their children’s sake. Talk to them and share the message in every way you can.
Join a group of like-minded people and learn more.
And see below for resources and groups that can help you.
Local groups you can join
There are currently two 99% Groups you can join for support, and we are planning for more.
Since COVID, the groups have become virtual, which means that all group meetings are open to all members.
If you would like to join the ‘North/ West’ Group, please contact Helena Orlowski on helena.orlowski@99-percent.org
If you would like to join the ‘South / East’ Group, please contact Paul Bradford on paul.bradford@99-percent.org
You are welcome to join both!
