2. Lobby your MP
There are many ways you can lobby your MP. First step is to find your MP. Once you've located them, you can now:
- Send emails or letters
- Organise and present a petition or survey
- Invite your MP or a member of the Lords to a meeting or event where they can find out more about your views.
3. Pull in the crowds to your event
- Create flyers – hand these out in your town or city during busy periods.
- Contact your local media – get in touch with local newspapers and radio stations, giving them a short and snappy explanation of the event. Be sure to mention names of speakers and include contact details, should they require further information.
- Ask others to spread the message on social media – set up a Facebook event and invite all your contacts, providing regular updates on the event page to ensure maximum visibility of your event or activity. You could also ask people you have invited to tweet the message and event to their followers.
- List your event on UNA-UK’s website – submit your event for inclusion on UNA-UK’s events calendar (www.una.org.uk/add-event).
