EASY WAYS YOU CAN JOIN IN
Everyone
can do something to help fight for the promised referendum
on the EU Constitution / Lisbon Treaty.
There's
strength in numbers and the Democracy Movement's campaigns are so
effective because we have a wide network of support and there are
many small ways to get involved.
If
we all work together, however small the things we each do, collectively
they can make a huge difference.
Please
join in! Below are some ideas for what you can do for however much
time you have available.

Help
us to set up a local group.
If there is no branch in your area, help us to start one! Having local
groups active in every community across the country will be the key
to applying sufficient pressure for change on MPs. Helping us to start
a group in your area need not commit you to further involvement. To
find out more, contact us by clicking

Make
a donation.
The DM's campaigns depend entirely on the voluntary donations of supporters.
We face a huge task and, unlike our opponents, we are not funded by
the British and European taxpayer. Please consider making a donation
to our campaign fund. If you can't be active yourself, please help
us to support those who can. To find out more, click
here.
Distribute
leaflets. Help
us to let people know the implications of the EU Constitution / Lisbon
treaty and why they should press their MP for a referendum by distributing
our free leaflets door-to-door in your area. Click
here
to view our range of free campaign materials and order any quantity,
from a few to pass around your contacts to hundreds to put through
local letterboxes.
Make
sure your library has our side of the argument.
Write to or visit your local library to request any of the publications
on our bookshop page. Click
here
to see our list of EU-related books. Also ask them to stock the international
EU-critical magazine These Tides (ISSN 1368-4914).
Write
to your MP.
Whether your MP is for or against passing more powers to the EU, it's
vital they get feedback from their constituents for their view. In
the first instance, please write to them at the House of Commons,
London SW1A 0AA expressing your support for a referendum and asking
what their view is on the issue. To find
out who your MP is and how they voted on the Lisbon Treaty, click
here and enter your postcode.
Please send us a copy of any response you receive for our file of
where MPs stand on the issue - our address is at the bottom of this
page.
Most
local and regional newspapers have Letters pages and are very
keen to hear the views of local people, not just on local issues.
Surveys show that the local media is one of the most trusted sources
of information, and that the Letters page is often the most widely
read section of the paper. Just a brief letter on the issue can take
a short time to write yet, if published, can reach tens of thousands
of people in one go.
You don't even have to create letters yourself. Register with us as
a letter-writer for your local paper and we'll send you occasional
sample letters to copy and forward to the paper. This will help spread
our arguments and generate support, but take you very little time.
