Celebrate! Maria Miller MP has told the Commons she wants a #5050Parliament and loves our #AskHerToStand campaign. Join 50:50 at Women's March London to keep the pressure on, sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/5050-parliament-at-womens-march-london-tickets-31098085210.
It is fantastic that Maria Miller MP chair of Women and Equalities Select committee likes #5050Parliament and our #AskHerToStand campaign (see http://www.5050parliament.co.uk/askhertostand)! But like she says action is still needed to ensure women get "bums on seats" in the Commons - not very parliamentary language but see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri3fZvk21oo.
This is massive progress: Parliament acknowledging that more has to be done so that the UK can lead the way for a more inclusive gender balanced Parliament that's better for everyone!
Thanks for all your campaigning and keep collecting signatures!
Have a great #Equality weekend and join 50:50 at Women's March London next Saturday 21 Jan 12.00, Grosvenor Square!
