Last Saturday, volunteers across the country made Demand Democracy Day a resounding success, with actions held from Cornwall to Scotland and everywhere in between. Volunteers organised around 60 street stalls in what we believe was the largest mobilisation for Proportional Representation in living memory. Thanks to the fantastic work of these volunteers, thousands have already signed our new petition to each of our local MPs. Add your name to the petition and tell YOUR local MP that you want fair votes! https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/petition-for-proportional-representation We’re in the middle of “National Democracy Week” - which is the perfect time to let your MP know their constituents see through the Government celebrations and recognise First Past The Post isn’t fit for a modern, 21st century Britain. Sign the petition calling on your MP to support the introduction of Proportional Representation today! https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/petition-for-proportional-representation/ You can also get involved on social media. We need help in hijacking the Government’s hashtags for the rest of the week. Get active by sharing our petition on Twitter and Facebook and make sure to use the hashtags #TalkDemocracy and #NDW18. https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/news/demand-democracy-day/#social *Fair Votes Festival - Saturday 21st July* Make sure you're free on Saturday 21st July as Make Votes Matter and Unlock Democracy are co-hosting the big electoral reform demo of the summer in Victoria Square, Birmingham: the Fair Votes Festival. https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/local-meetings/2018/7/21/fair-votes-festival The Fair Votes Festival has a great lineup of speakers from across the political spectrum which will be followed by live music.
