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.

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/ *** Thank you for your support - we need it now more than ever!
