Over 45,000 signatures this week! Thank you for signing, this is incredible.  I'm so pleased so many people agree with me that the government should not give up on child poverty targets. If you haven't already, I'd really appreciate if you let your friends know about this petition. We have until early January to show the House of Lords just how many people care about this – I’m sure we can reach 50k!   In the meantime, why not let a few individual Lords know how much this issue matters to you? Personal messages work really well to show any Lords who may be in two minds that the public does not support the government's plans to scrap the child poverty targets.   You can email a Lord here: http://moneymatters.endchildpoverty.org.uk/   I’m really hopeful that together we can convince the Peers to take a stand for our children. Thank you.
