This week we are writing to our MPs to protect the future of education in the UK. Check out this qaulity video made by our deputy @ditchweed and check out the "Fund the Future" campaign.

This week we are writing letters to our MP to protect young trans rights from MP Liz Truss's planned changes to the Gender Recognition Act. This could mean excluding trans or non binary from same sex spaces and preventing them from accessing transition healthcare. We believe that access to healthcare for trans adolescents saves lives and any denial of that healthcare would not only cause serious harm but be a breach of human rights.

Write a letter to your MP. 1) look up your MP's addresses on 'write to them'
2) voice your concerns and ask them what they are doing to protect black lives and challenge (institutional) racism - be specific.

MPs are obliged to reply to letters and their mail is monitored so sending them post can lead to issues being discussed in parliament and policy change. Letter template in our bio.

An effective method for applying direct pressure on the UK Government is to write letters (emails often don’t get through to ministers) below are the some steps to get you started
Find out the name and address of your local MP by entering your postcode at www.writetothem.com
Hold them to account by asking them what they and the Government are doing to protect the lives of black, asian, ethnic and minority individuals and tell them what you want them to do (make it clear that you are their constituent by including your address and say if you are a member of their political party)

Ask questions and be as specific as you can - e.g. Is it legal for the UK to continue to sell police weaponry to the US when it is being used against its citizens to suppress peaceful protests?
Sign off by requesting a quick response and leave your contact details - they are obliged to reply.
If you need any guidance getting started, there is an excellent template from @feministinternet that we have linked to in our bio. Let's get writing. Solidarity is meaningless without action.

In these trying times I'm sure there is no need to remind anyone of the mental benefits of staying in touch. Writing letters can be a great way to reflect on this crazy time and are a joy to receive and read. All you need is your friend's postal address, a peice of paper and a pen to send something. Stay in touch with your loved ones during these strange times and we hope to be in a field with again with you soon. 🙏

Happy new year from The Secret Post Office. Officially now entering our 10th year of delivering hand made mail at festivals! Each year brings different people together and this very small silly idea we had ten years ago of writing secret messages to strangers has led to making some lifelong friends, lovers and perhaps even some postie children. Here's to another ten years of finding friends in fields. 💌
