Dear Friends,
With the General Election date set for Thu 12 December, once again we are in full electoral campaign swing.
If you have not registered to vote yet, please proceed asap as the deadline is the 28th November www.gov.uk/register-
Please also check the Shaping Our Lives resources here mailchi.mp/9f9bed90fcae/
We will be talking briefly about the General Election at our November meeting at LARC next Monday the 18th from 6:30 pm. Emily Reynolds also wants to tell us about her campaign:
A group of London based activists are trying to ensure that all survivors/service users are able to vote in the forthcoming general election.They want to make sure that everybody knows their rights, is registered to vote, are able to get to the polling stations on election day, and are given adequate support once there. They are particularly interested in reaching those who are entitled to vote but are in hospital and unsure how they can cast their vote.They are looking for support and are contacting local user-led organisations to ensure everyone has the information they need, as well as drop-in sessions to help people register to vote. If there is interest, they will also be crowdfunding for transportation and offering of escorts to make sure people get to the polling station. If you or anybody from your network wants to support the project or would like more information, please email emilyoliviareynolds@gmail.com
The remaining part of Monday's meeting will be dedicated to celebrate ourselves, as we have reached another round year with our collective work.
12 years since we started meeting in 2007!!! Where has the time gone???
An heartfelt thanks to all supporters, allies and friends that have helped keeping the fire going for all these years, through thick and thin times.
Join us for some light refreshments (any volunteer cake maker out there?) and some impromptu music and poetry to follow the GE discussion.
