It’s not too late to join us in Parliament next Wednesday

12.05.11 - Helen

Since my email two weeks ago, over 100 people have signed up to come to Parliament next Wednesday (18th May) to meet their MP and ask them to oppose the government’s unfair plan to increase the state pension age.

We have a real fight on our hands if we are going to stop these changes - we need to make sure every single Member of Parliament understands why these proposals are wrong, and knows that there are people like you in their constituency who want them to put a stop to them.

That’s why we’re holding a mass lobby of Parliament next week - to send a message to our MPs and to the government that we think these pension age changes are wrong.

It’s not too late to get an appointment with your MP and join us in Parliament next week:

We have an easy tool to help you make an appointment with your MP (I sent my MP an email and got a reply back with a suggested appointment time within two days!) and we'll be there on the day to help you decide what to say in your meeting. We have lots of resources to help you as well, from a guide to winning the arguments to a factsheet you can give your MP.

By coming to Parliament, you’ll be helping to make sure your MP knows they’re under real pressure from their voters about this issue – and we have to keep that pressure up if we’re going to win.

Join us in Westminster next week to send a message to the Government loud and clear – hands off our pensions!
