So far over 15,000 of you have emailed your MPs to ask them to vote for Palestine. This is amazing but is only a small proportion of those who receive our updates – so please take action if you haven’t already.
This is important: this is the first opportunity in at least four Parliaments that MPs have had a vote to recognise Palestinians’ right to self-determination.Please make sure that you do all you can to urge your MP to vote for Palestine.
Even if your MP is not usually supportive please do take the time to send them an email, and encourage others you know to do so as well. As this is a backbench debate, MPs will not be obliged by their political parties to vote – so let’s make sure that as many as possible turn up and vote for Palestine.
