Writing to your new MP Workshop - October
Wed 2 Oct 2024 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM BST
Online, Zoom
Description
Why contact my MP?
The post-election period is an important opportunity for citizens across the UK to communicate their concerns with their new or returning MPs and move climate and nature to the top of their agenda.
Join us at Hope for the Future as we walk you through a step by step guide to contacting your MP, with the aim of making vital policy change for climate and nature. We'll be covering:
- A new government 101 - a whistlestop tour of everything you need to know about the new government
- What it's like to be an MP in a new Government
- Hope for the Future's relationship based approach in the context of a new government
- The power and possibilities of building a relationship post-election
- Practical steps for how to go about welcoming your MP
- What can a new MP realistically do for you in the first 100 days?
- Relevant manifesto commitments which you may want to refer to
- Framing your ask for different political persuasions
We will then help equip you with the tools to write a letter to your MP!
We can't wait to see you there! The zoom link will be provided to you once you've signed up.
