This Saturday is Demand Democracy Day. With more than 60 street stalls across the UK - from Truro to Aberdeen - this is the biggest, broadest mobilisation for Proportional Representation in living memory. https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/news/demand-democracy-day Whether we win PR after the next general election depends on what we all do at times like this. To make this change soon, we all need to take action now and make fair votes a political issue that cannot be ignored or sidelined. We need your help to make Saturday a great milestone on the way to democratising the UK. Here's how: 1. Support your local street stall Each of our street stalls has been organised by an awesome local volunteer - but we all need a little help and encouragement! Let's make sure everyone has allies on their stall with them. Even if you can only pop by for an hour it will be much appreciated. Click the link below to find the closest one to you, and get in touch with the organiser to let them know when you can make it. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1D4CWCr3khJgJvf5rYhyA8zYKfOvbESq0&ll=53.70971202910922%2C0.2934873062499719&z=6 Our street stalls are usually a lot of fun, and you don't need to be an expert. You'll find everything you need to get involved at the stall, including leaflets, badges and petition sign-up sheets. Even if an hour is all you have to spare - or if you can only drop by to say hello and show your support - it will be hugely appreciated by the local organiser. Get involved: https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/news/demand-democracy-day 2. Sign the petition to your local MP We're launching a new Demand Democracy Day petition today, aimed at lobbying every MP in the UK about fair votes. https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/petition-for-proportional-representation Enter your postcode and it automatically addresses your local MP - and offers you an opt-in to joining a group meeting with them in the future to pressure them to support voting reform. Demand Democracy Day street stalls will be signing up members of the public to the petition to pile pressure on local MPs. Help them get off to a flying start: add your name today! Sign the petition to your local MP: https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/petition-for-proportional-representation 3. Share on social media If you can't make it to a street stall on the day, you can still help spread the word. Forward this email to any friends who may be interested in taking part, or click the link below for ways to share the petition and action on social media. https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/news/demand-democracy-day/#social 4. Join the MVM contingent at the NHS March Are you torn between the NHS at 70 march and Demand Democracy Day on 30th June? You can do both! Join the Make Votes Matter contingent at the NHS March. https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/local-meetings/mvm-nhs Healthcare is a prime example of an area that suffers as a direct result of First Past the Post. Instead of making consensus-based policy for the long-term, our governments take turns reversing the decisions of their predecessors. To protect the NHS, we need to treat the cause - not just the symptoms! With hope and determination, Owen and the Make Votes Matter Team
