Dear John,
For months you asked peers to amend the Trade Bill to protect our NHS and
make sure parliament can scrutinise trade deals. WE WON! The House of Lords
has passed both amendments!
BUT OUR WORK IS NOT YET DONE. We must NOW ramp up the pressure on MPs to
make sure they vote to keep those amendments in the Bill.
Can you email your MP right now and ask them to take our Scrutiny Pledge?
Ask your MP to take the pledge now! [1]
Two weeks ago we asked you to email your MP and ask them to sign the
pledge. WHETHER YOU EMAILED THEM THEN OR NOT, PLEASE CLICK THE LINK [1] AND
EMAIL THEM NOW.
As a result of your emails two weeks ago, a cross-party group of MPs,
including Conservatives, SNP, Labour and LibDems, from right accross the
United Kingdom, have already taken the pledge. BUT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
YET. To win in the Commons we need over 300 of them to take the pledge.
FIND OUT WHO HAS SIGNED THE PLEDGE HERE [2].
Wherever you live in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern
Ireland), PLEASE TAKE 2 MINUTES TO WRITE TO YOUR MP and ask them to take
the Scrutiny Pledge to vote to give MPs the power to scrutinise trade deals
and protect the NHS.
Email your MP to take the Scrutiny Pledge [1]
The vote on keeping the scrutiny amendment in the Bill in the House of
Commons is going to be very tight and EVERY EMAIL SENT TO AN MP WILL MAKE A
HUGE DIFFERENCE [1].
The NHS means so much to our families and communities, and it has saved us
enormously during this pandemic. WE MUST CONTINUE TO FIGHT TO PROTECT OUR
NHS from trade deals by giving MPs the power to scrutinise trade deals.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK YOU’VE BEEN DOING IN THIS CAMPAIGN.
Cat, Chris, Pascale, Johnbosco, Alice - the We Own It team

TARGET OVER THE WEEKEND! YOU'RE AMAZING. WE'LL BE IN TOUCH AGAIN ABOUT THAT
