[SC.LUG] Open Rights Group : Digital Economy Bill - Manchester, 23rd Jan

[Tim Dobson]

I've just found out that The Open Rights Group are running an event on
the 23rd of January at Madlab in Manchester to help the campaign against
the Digital Economy Bill.
--

The Open Rights Group wants to help you get your voice heard: by helping
you to talk to your MP. Booking an appointment with your MP and saying
what you think is easier than you might think.

At this event you will:

    * Gain the confidence to talk and write to your MP
    * Rehearse talking to your MP one on one
    * Find out what MPs will ask you
    * Learn how to write to your MP and get a response
    * Meet other people campaigning against disconnection without trial
in the Digital Economy Bill

Talking to your MP is the most effective way to make sure Parliament
knows how unpopular and bad disconnection without trial really would be.

In these short sessions, you can try out talking to your MP or watch
someone else having a go, and learn how to get your points across in a
way that an MP will understand.

To book, please use these form:

See you there!

P.S. Obviously, if you support the Digital Economy Bill and want
families to be cut off without trial, you needn't attend. No bad
feelings! :)
