Hey 296,960 of you,

This only takes a minute but will have a big impact.

Please send a copy of this “letter to the Editor” – or, even better, compose your own – to your local newspaper. Our MPs read our local newspapers and it’s a great way to highlight the campaign in our local areas.

You just need to Google the title of your local paper + “letter to the editor” (or “send a letter”) to either find the Editor’s email address or an online form to submit your letter.

If you do compose your own, feel free to use some of the information in my suggested letter below - but try to keep your letter below 250 words so it’s more likely to be published. Please let me know when you've contacted your paper by leaving a comment

You can also join me on the protest at Downing Street on Saturday - click here to see the details. If you're planning to head down, reach out to me on Twitter and let's connect on the day. 

Thanks! 

Suggested letter:

Dear Editor,

I’m appalled that the Government is suspending Parliament in September. With the Brexit deadline around the corner, it means MPs won’t have time to pass laws to stop a no-deal Brexit or scrutinise the Government at one of the most critical times in our country’s history.

This is an outrage and undermines the very idea of democracy.

With just a few weeks before Brexit, we need politicians in Parliament, doing their jobs to make sure we leave the European Union in the best possible way for the sake of future generations.

That’s why I’ve joined the campaign calling for Boris Johnson not to suspend Parliament to ram through an undemocratic Brexit, which will do nothing to provide closure and bring the country back together.

This is the time for MPs to showcase bold and decisive leadership. I’d like to encourage everyone else in our area to sign the petition at Change.org/StopTheCoup
