Lobbying your MP is a simple and powerful way to ensure your concerns are heard by government. There are a few things you need to do before taking part in the mass lobby. First, contact your MP as soon as possible and arrange a meeting with them on Wednesday 28 November. Briefly explain what you would like to speak to them about.
If you don’t know who your MP is, go to www.faxyourmp.com or phone 020 7219 3000. Second, please let us know when you have an appointment with your MP so we can co-ordinate with other people in the same constituency. Contact Ruth Tanner at 020 75490583 or rtanner@waronwant.org, or Gillian Watt at 020 7832 1310 or wattg@caabu.org.
If you do not manage to contact your MP in advance, you can still try to meet them on the day — just come along to the lobby and ask for a ‘green card’ to request that your MP meets you.
We will be able to brief you on how to lobby your MP in the House of Commons on the lobby day.
We will brief you on the day on how to call on your MP to take action on these points:
Isolation
Our government must end the economic and political isolation of Gaza immediately. International law
Our government must insist that Israel complies with international law and ends its continuing expansion of settlements on occupied Palestinian land. Illegal wall
Our government must respect the International Court of Justice advisory opinion regarding the illagal wall in the West Bank and Jerusalem. Democratic principles
Our government must recoginse those elected democratically by the Palestinian people and help to reconcile the differences between Fatah and Hamas. Full details can be found here. Download the lobby flyer here
