We're all set for Tuesday - with MPs, MEPs, Peers and public figures joining hundreds of us in a 24-hour fast for fair votes.
We need your support to make this action as effective as possible. Please do whichever of these you can...
Support our Thunderclap
On Monday night, we want to spread the word as far and wide as possible. To help do this, we're asking Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr users to support our Thunderclap. Click here to join in: https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/67515-hungry4democracy
A Thunderclap is a way for hundreds or thousands of people to share the same message at the same time - amplifying it across social media. It's really effective way to spread the word - so please click the button to opt in!
Write to your local press
Your local newspapers will be interested in what's happening - so let them know!
Write them a letter in support of the fast and giving one or two reasons why you believe the UK needs Proportional Representation. Click here for some tips: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gSX9sEXHcQhBPAVFw1cnO9WhobsnsCMl3DDvtNn1k2M/edit?usp=sharing
Support us on the day
Hunger strikers will be holding vigils all day on Tuesday outside Parliament and outside Sheffield Town Hall. If you're nearby, drop by any time to show your support. Why not come along in your lunch(!) break or after work?
Find the vigil details at: https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/hungry-for-democracy
Wherever you are, you can support the action by sharing messages on social media. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to keep updated throughout the day.
Make a donation
We know that we live in a world where people still go hungry and discrimination impacts too many of us. Hungry for Democracy aims to honour these realities, and contribute to a society where such inequality and injustice is overcome.
We are therefore inviting participants in the fast to donate the money they would otherwise have spent on food, to be divided equally between the Fawcett Society, the Trussell Trust and Make Votes Matter. Anyone can donate to this fund here: https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/hungry-for-democracy/#donate
...or even join the fast!
There's still time to sign-up for the 24 hour hunger strike. If you're ready to make this big public statement to demand Proportional Representation, sign up here: https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/hungry-for-democracy/
