Women reminding women to use their vote, their voice...

There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about."
Let's get into a coherent 'form' so we can have a huge collective impact, instead of all sitting at home alone, like a bunch of scattered beads, thinking "we're in deep trouble & it's hopeless."
A Systems Approach.
This is not "couch to 5K". It's couch to ballot box! Way easier, you don't have to run, though you could wear lycra. Better than that, you only have to do it once! May 7th-here in a blink.
Couch to Ballot Box!

Which 3 women in your life spring to mind?
- a friend
- your sister
- a colleague
EITHER
Share it with them via this WhatsApp link
~OR~
Share this website with them via email.
If you share to just 3 of your friends, and they each share to another 3 friends (and so on), in just 6 iterations of women saying "Me Plus 3", we are over 2000 women voting!
(Go ahead - check my maths!)
the MePlus3 effect
Think of 3 girlfriends who either don't bother voting or you're not sure if they do.
Send them this website (links below) so they understand why they really need to value their vote.
Make voting on May 7 "a thing" - go together, make it special, remember what it took to get us this "privilege."
how MePlus3 works
Women are speaking up! Which parties are listening?
No matter the voting history in your ward or borough it's important to vote because even if you don't get the party member you want in, your vote sends a clear signal, important data, to the incumbent or whoever wins.
It took women decades to get the vote, we had to protest, be jailed, starve ourselves, be force-fed.... the history of women's work to get to this place where we can vote is extraordinary. Use what they worked so hard to give you. A VOTE.

need to vote

e) ALL OF THE ABOVE.
(Correct answer: E)
Does Nigel Farage have a problem with women? Is he now trying to distance himself from Trump?
Danny Kruger (Reform). More women to have more babies is their stated aim.
Richard Tice (Reform) echoing Donald Trump, with plans to abolish labour legislation and renters' protections and abandon net zero goals
Palantir CEO, Alex Karp, whose software is embedded in the NHS, said with no irony or shame "his technology will lessen the power of highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly democrat."
Trouble is brewing,
if you haven't noticed.
Team Farage & Team Trump are closely tied and neither have the best interests of women at heart. Women, we need to pay attention and yes, we should be worried.
Reform, with their "pronatalist ambition" are threatening / promising to:
- introduce tax reforms that will set women back (taxing households instead of individuals)
- repeal "no fault divorce" (making divorce harder)
- scrap the Equality Act, which is being taken seriously in many quarters.

why you need to vote GREEN
What happens in the local elections on Thursday May 7 sets the groundwork for what will come in the next national election in 2029.
Hannah Spencer's win in Gorton and Denton was phenomenal. But we need to make sure we don't let the country veer further to the right. Do your homework, see which party you think stacks up, but for my money, what I've seen on the ground, stated policies and generally the kinds of people I'm meeting at the grassroots, I'm voting Green.
What are your priorities? Do you want greater compassion in politics, an end to corporate lobbying of government, policies to address the growing inequity between rich and poor?
See what makes sense for what you value - affordable housing and a real job market for our children, not run-away AI-based fantasies led by tech-bros who, frankly, are pretty unhinged... (see Alex Karp above).

What has the Equality Act ever done for me?
Links between the Christian right and women's right to vote. Fast forward to 2 minutes and prepare to weep!
Anger is entirely appropriate
As is some much needed humour
Not the direction we want
if you still need convincing...
Funny.... kind of...
Alarming more than funny...
