Dear John,
Nearly a thousand Positive Money supporters have already cast their votes on our plan for 2020, but right now your voice is missing. So far, twice as many people think we should focus on running petitions rather than direct actions – do you agree? Are people more convinced by seeing thousands of supporters' signatures or by people taking to the streets? To have your say on this, and many more issues, get started with our first question now: How do you feel about our chances of having an impact together in 2020? |

Submit your answers before midnight this Friday and you’ll also be in with a chance of winning a free copy of the book ‘Where Does Money Come From?’ and a Positive Money t-shirt!*
Thank you for all that you do,
Hannah, Zack and the rest of the Positive Money team * We will contact the 5 winners after selection to confirm t-shirt size and postal address :-)
Here’s the original email we sent about this: |

John, right now 2020 is filled with uncertainty. We're facing a new Government, a new Bank of England Governor and we're leaving the EU. |
|
In the face of all this unpredictability Positive Money needs to make the right choices about what to work on - and with limited time and resources, every decision matters. That’s where you come in.
The Positive Money survey is a chance for everyone in our community to reflect on our work, share their ideas and choose our priorities for the year ahead. Because we make better decisions when we make them together. |

John, please will you take the survey now? It'll take you about 5 minutes and will shape Positive Money's work in the next twelve months. Dive in now with the first question...
How do you feel about our chances of having an impact together in 2020? |

If everybody reading this email had their say today, we'd be able to march into 2020 with a solid plan built by thousands of us.
When we asked what campaigns to focus on in 2019, the most popular answer was 'stop the RBS sell-off'. So, we ran a YouGov poll proving the public was on side, gathered over 12,000 signatures for a petition and delivered it to then-Chancellor Philip Hammond. In the end, Hammond backed down and the Labour and Green Parties supported our campaign too. [1]
This is proof that when we make decisions together, we can really have an impact.
Democratising our economy sits right at the heart of Positive Money's vision and our annual supporter survey is an example of this. We're not half-heartedly calling for more democracy from the sidelines but striving to practice what we preach - and the key to that is you.
So please will you start the survey now...
How do you feel about our chances of having an impact together in 2020? |

Thank you for being a part of Positive Money,
Hannah, Zack and the rest of the Positive Money team
P.S. The survey will run until midnight on Friday 31st January. After that we'll write up the results and send them round so we can all start on Positive Money's journey for 2020 together.
* We will contact the winners after selection to confirm t-shirt size and postal address :-)
