Hello to all 211, 992 of you!!! Wowzers, things are happening and it’s all down to YOU. People power!! TERRIFIC NEWS Tesco, Waitrose and Marks and Spencer have all decided to keep the covers of The Sun and Star out of the eye lines of children! The Tesco news was featured in most of the weekends press. (including Murdoch’s Times and Sky News!) But since then we’ve learned that M&S and Waitrose are also taking steps on this issue. We are proving to be quite formidable, and it is all thanks to YOUR action and that of Child Eyes and their supporters. You tirelessly and fantastically campaigned in stores, via email, on social media - and these huge corporations had to listen. You are all, frankly, BRILLIANT!! But… we’re not done yet. Let’s get the remaining supers to follow suit!http://nomorepage3.org/news/call-to-action-whos-next/ 17th NOVEMBER marked the 44th (and last!?!) anniversary of Page 3 Supporters up and down the country got together and took to the streets (and pubs, Edinburgh!) to spread the word. There was even a suffragette inspired chalk protest where 40+ people, spearheaded by our own superhero 18-year-old Yas Necati, wrote their reasons for supporting No More Page 3 on the pavements outside News UK in London. Even the police and Sun security agreed it was a wonderful sight! A SUPPORTER, who wishes to remain anonymous, spent his commute to work thinking about his young daughters and how to make the world better for them. And he wrote a manifesto. Then he had it beautifully designed and printed and has sent it to politicians. We recommend you make yourself a nice cup of equali-tea and have a read. It’s remarkable. https://avision42030formykids.wordpress.com/about/ AND talking of equali-tea… WE NOW HAVE NO MORE PAGE 3 MUGS (just the thing for drinking gin, we’re told!) You can buy them here http://www.thefashionmove.co.uk/collections/merchandise/products/no-more-page-three-mug Ooo and if you’re thinking No More Page 3 Christmas gifts, you can now purchase campaign posters/prints by Jo Harrison. Just click here and look at her artwork. It’s incredible. We are so lucky to have you with us, Jo. x http://jo-harrison.co.uk/portfolio/no-more-page-3/ So YES, we’re having a great year and we think we might be rattling The Sun! Last week The Independent looked back at how Page 3 changed throughout 2014. Have a read http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/after-44-years-isnt-it-time-the-suns-page-3-went-the-same-way-as-dapper-laughs-9864083.html BUT we want to end the year on a high and we can do that if you help us to get our single 'Now’s The Time' in the charts. Please pre–order the single and do as much as you can to encourage others to...yes, we absolutely do mean looming over friends, family and acquaintances until they too have pre-ordered the song! And don’t forget we’re asking YOU to make a video for it, to be released with the single on the 15th Dec. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEA2SLaJ1Ww Just think….A No More Page 3 single in the charts would be historic. YOU CAN PRE-ORDER THE SINGLE HERE https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/id938240081 So, it’s all quite breathlessly exciting for No More Page 3 at the moment. Please know that we are so very, very grateful to you all for being part of this movement. WE’LL LEAVE YOU WITH THE BIGGEST ‘THANK YOU’ FROM US! We’re doing this. : ) Lucy, Lisa, Sarah, Sarah, Stephanie, Angela, Pippa, Jo, Jo, Yas, Anne-Louise, Brenna, Ceris, Asa, Kathryn and Jenni.
