We're looking for:

• Volunteer help and
• Funding

to help us increase our campaigning to bring about - this time - proportional representation for UK public elections.

Whether it's

• Maximising involvement in national grassroots action days for fair and equal votes
• Supporting our MPs and peers in opposing the anti-democratic agenda of the Tory Government (such as the Elections Act)
• Staging member zoom and party fringe meetings
• Boosting our online presence
• Networking with other parties and cross-party reform organisations

There's still time to register for our National Grassroots Action PR zoom briefing with:

Hina Bokhari, Liberal Democrat London Assembly member and dedicated campaigner for fair and equal votes;

and

Surrinder Chera, Local Groups & Diversity Lead for Make Votes Matter (MVM).

** Congratulations to everyone who helped the party achieve such a great result in the May 5 elections. Gains of 180+ Council seats build our stature and keep us on course for taking those crucial 'blue wall' seats off the Conservatives at the next election - a 'hung' parliament is our best chance to achieve PR for the House of Commons**

Many of us have been shocked by how the current government has been able to remove fundamental protections and expand undemocratic measures (refugees being deemed 'illegal', the right to protest taken away, the independence of the electoral committee hollowed out and FPTP being expanded further to future Mayoral elections).

Elections Bill - the fight is still on

Thank you to everyone who has backed our anti-Elections Bill campaign by lobbying MPs and peers at key stages of the bill's passage through Parliament.

In this newsletter, as well as some upcoming news, we concentrate on:

• What impact is our campaigning having?

• What is the next important step for us to take?
