Did you get my letter, John?

Dear John
This week I sent out a letter to every single Labour member in the West Midlands, sharing the story of our campaign. I hope you got yours!
We've also been hitting the phones and have found that while support is high, there are still lots of people out there who haven't returned their ballots.
So we have four jobs to do to fix that!
1. Please vote for me TODAY!
If the Labour Party has your email address, they will have emailed you a link to the voting website. It looks like this:
Put a 1 by Liam’s name, like this:
If the Labour Party hasn’t got your email address, they’ll send you a postal vote. Again, put a 1 by Liam’s name and send back your postal vote.
If you want a hard copy ballot paper, they need to request it asap by - Calling Labour Party Membership Services on 01215691900 or emailing [email protected]
The BALLOT CLOSES at noon on 5th February 2019 - So don’t delay - VOTE TODAY!
To be eligible to vote, you need have been a member who joined before 10 January 2019.
2. Please tell us you have voted!
We’re making sure all our friends and supporters have voted, so if you have voted, just hit reply and tell us you’ve voted and we can cross you off our list or click here!
3. Please tell your friends to vote for Liam!
Please make sure you tell your friends and families to vote for Liam!

Here’s our 50 page blueprint for Radical Compassion. You can read it all here: bit.ly/lbradical. There’s three sets of ideas to turn our anger, our idealism, our radical compassion into action:
- End the moral emergency of homelessness, hunger and cuts to disability benefits, with 24/7 emergency night shelters, street teams to deliver mental health support and, crucially, the biggest council house building programme since World War II.
- Transform the social solidarity of our region by building a home together where we have #MoreInCommon - starting by putting a youth worker back in every ward.
- Build a new prosperity for the many not the few in our region by pioneering a Green Industrial Revolution that not only delivers decarbonisation but jobs and justice, with a new regional investment bank, a municipal solar energy company, an Office of Community Wealth building, and a plan to electrify our buses and taxis. Together, this will make us the centre of UK Green Manufacturing.
If they would like more information, here’s a list of our plans for Radical Compassion, developed in over 100 meetings with members, trade unions, and charities. CLICK each button below to read in full!
4. Can you join our team calling Labour Party members?
We're letting them know ballots are out now and asking if they will give Liam their first preference. If you're interested, please come to any of our phonebank sessions. There's a very simple script and someone will be there to guide you.
We have paper sheets, but we're also using an online system, so bring a laptop or tablet if you can, but it works on your smartphone too. And with our online system, you can even phonebank from home. Please come to any of the sessions below and we will guide you through it.
