GET THE EUROPEAN VOTE OUT – DEFEAT THE BNP!

Your help is needed!

We are running three phone banks ahead of the European elections on June 4.

We will be phoning EU expats who have registered to vote in the UK for the European elections. We will remind them that a higher EU expat turn-out might prevent the BNP from winning seats.

Sessions are scheduled from 6pm to 8.30pm at a location in Central London on the following days

Wednesday May 27, Monday June 1 and Tuesday June 2

Jointly organised by London Labour & the Labour Movement for Europe
The aim is to get EU-expats to register on the electoral register and to vote in the European elections. May 19 is registration deadline. EU expats are 4 times more likely to participate in elections in their country of residence than the country they are citizens of. An increased EU voter participation will help decrease the chances of the extreme right BNP to win a London seat and also weaken other euro-sceptic and euro-phobic parties like UKIP, Libertas and the Tories. Training and a script will be provided.

March for jobs, march for climate, march for justice!

As we approach the European elections, it is crucial we put forward a progressive voice towards the G20.  The PES Manifesto itself calls to put people first. Because you know we need to fight for jobs by creating 10 million jobs and equal pay for equal work, we need to fight for climate by creating smarter and greener growth and we need to fight for justice by proposing to put an end to tax havens & avoidance and lead the fight to close the gender pay gap.

 

Less than 48 hours to go! Join us this Saturday!

 

This is why we want to invite you to join us, this Saturday 28th March as we will march with thousands of other people through London as part of a global campaign to challenge the G20 on the global financial crisis.

 

Come and meet us at Temple Place by Victoria Embankment at 11am.  Check out the map. The nearest tube is Temple, but this may be packed by the time you get there, Embankment and Waterloo aren’t far, see more here about getting there.
