Dear Sound Off For Justice campaigner…
Things are getting serious and the government are fast tracking the bill through parliament. This means that you and I and large sections of society are being silenced.
We need you to get all your friends and family behind the campaign. Please encourage two people you know to join the campaign and sign the petition today.
Last week David Cameron said that he would listen to the public. We now need him to come good on his word. Last week also saw Ken Clarke introduce the ‘Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishing of Offenders Bill’ to parliament. This type of fast tracking is only used in times of emergency and when the country is under threat. It will mean the bill will avoid proper scrutiny and debate. It means you are being silenced.
We invite you to attend…
This week will already see the second reading of the Justice Bill in the House of Commons. This is at lunchtime on Wednesday 29th of June. Here’s what we are doing – and we want you to get involved.
- Tonight (Tuesday 28th of June) at 11pm we will share with you an exclusive copy of our Sound Off For Justice interim report on the bill to date – you can find it on our website. This is being released in full to Members of Parliament, media and the public on Wednesday morning. In this we pose 13 questions that we believe the government must answer before the rush ahead with their bad policy.
- Tomorrow (Wednesday 29th of June) from 10am to 12pm please join us for a ‘Let them eat cake’ party before the second reading of the ‘Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill’. We’ll be on College Green, Westminster - find out more on our Facebook event page.
- Tomorrow (Wednesday 29th of June) from 1pm we will be running an online live discussion to cover debate in parliament. We will be taking questions on our Twitter and Facebook. You are invited to join this and ask the Sound Off For Justice policy team any questions that you may have.
Don’t be silenced by cuts to Legal Aid. Take positive action now.
