Dear John
THANK YOU
We’re all a step closer to securing our democratic
freedoms
I’m just writing to say a huge
thank you to those of you who donated to our crowdfunder on the
Elections Bill. Since Friday, you have helped us raise more than
£6,000 - and we’d just like to say a very sincere thank you for this
mammoth effort.
Your
support makes such a difference to the work we can do to challenge
this anti-democratic bill as it makes its way through
parliament. This bill
contains a series of clauses which slowly tilt us into
authoritarianism, by weakening the independent elections regulator and
allowing the Government to ban certain types of campaigners. Your
donations help us to amplify our lobbying effort with
parliamentarians, our commentary on social media, to reach bigger
audiences with our campaigning and put in place long-term strategies
for challenging such assaults on our democracy.
The Elections Bill isn’t the only
anti-democratic bill on the agenda - we’re also challenging other
bills which clamp down on our democratic freedoms, such as the Police,
Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill. It will take all our energy to push
back against all of these - so we’re very glad to have you along for
the journey.
Since
we started campaigning on the creeping authoritarianism of the current
Government earlier this year, we’ve raised £37,648.02 - that’s just
£2351.91 short of the £40,000 needed to do all it
takes.
If you haven’t yet donated, can you
help us with a gift that gets us over the line? Every penny donated
helps us stop the government turning the clock back on our
democracy.
By making a contribution to this
vital campaign, you’ll be taking a stand for democracy - and that’s
really something to be proud of.
Thank you again for standing with
us and standing up to this government.
Best wishes,
Naomi Smith
CEO - Best for Britain
