Help us get our Thought Books to UK MPs
During the UK General Election in May, we asked ONE members for their thoughts on what they would like the UK Government to do to fight extreme poverty. We’ve had these illustrated by the artist Paul Davis and bound into a volume we’re calling the Thought Book and we now need your help making sure every MP in the UK receives a copy.
We all know how tight things are right now, but we want to make sure that even in rough times the fight against extreme poverty isn’t forgotten.
We’re asking ONE members in the UK to sign up to deliver a copy of the Thought Book to their MP. personally during their local surgeries in September By way of thanks we’ll include a complimentary copy for you to keep.
So many lives have been saved and opportunities created because of our support for international development. Tens of millions of children in Africa are in school for the first time, millions of mothers don’t have to face giving birth without a trained attendant – all because of commitments made by countries like the UK. But progress is fragile and there is still a long way to go.
Check out the Thought Book and, if you live in the UK, sign up to deliver a copy to your MP.
