Tell your MP: Back the Green New Deal!

The Green New Deal is a ten-year, game-changing plan to stop the climate crisis and build a world in which we can thrive. And now a Green New Deal bill is beginning its journey through Parliament. This bill is our first step towards a liveable world for all of us.

MPs could sign up to the bill right now. All they have to do is add their name. But most of them are ignoring it. They’re either not facing up to the scale of the crisis or they are choosing to ally themselves with climate-delaying corporations. Email your MP now to ask them to back the bill!

All over the country, young people have been challenging MPs to stand up for their futures and back the Bill. Write to your MP now to stand with them.

We encourage you to personalise the email text so it reflects why you support the Green New Deal and why it’s relevant to your MP.

If your MP is one of the sponsors of the bill or has already signed in support, feel free to modify the letter to let them know how you feel about the Bill! You can find a list of all the bill supporters here.

Dear [recipient name will go here],

I’m writing to you as your constituent, deeply worried about the climate crisis and the inequality I can see around me, to ask you to support the Green New Deal Bill, currently tabled in parliament.

The Green New Deal Bill - officially known as the Decarbonisation and Economic Strategy Bill - is our first step as a country towards a better future - one where everyone can thrive.

I’m not alone in my concern about the climate crisis - in fact the majority of the country backs stronger action on climate change. The Green New Deal is about meeting that challenge, and doing it in a way that creates jobs, reduces inequality and restores our natural environment.

The last two years of the pandemic have shown what sort of change is possible when the government and parliament take decisive action. We need to see this applied to the other crises we’re facing: climate change, and the widening gaps of inequality that are holding us all back.

Will you back the Green New Deal Bill by joining MPs across party lines and signing the accompanying EDM 544*?

The Bill includes measures that will:
-Introduce legally-binding emissions targets and goals to reverse inequality
-Change the way the government manages the economy to enable greater investment
-Appoint a Green New Deal commission to establish an action plan.

It is the only plan we have that commits to action at the speed and scale necessary to meet our climate targets and tackle inequality.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you will show your support for the Bill,

Thanks,

Sincerely,
[your name will go here]
