Southall Black Sisters Needs Your Help To Protect Migrant Women Subject To Domestic Abuse

Just saw this campaign by the Southall Black Sisters being promoted by WPUK. It sounds extremely important and time critical and it's something everyone can get involved with, they've even provided an email template to help to contact your MP. In a nutshell it's about making sure migrant women are covered in the new DV bill. If everyone could take 5 mins to fire off an email to their MP about it that'd be ace.

Thank you for this ByGrabtharsHammerWhatASavings

I'll email my MP

Siablue · 02/07/2020 22:03

I will write to my MP. I am getting good at this.

Daughterofmabel · 02/07/2020 22:06

Aye. Practice makes perfect. Sadly

NeedToKnow101 · 02/07/2020 22:20

Done.

OvaHere · 02/07/2020 22:31

Thank you OP. Will also share elsewhere.

Bluebooby · 02/07/2020 22:41

Will write to my mp too. Honestly don't think she will give a damn though. She doesn't seem very nice.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 02/07/2020 22:45

Thank you. Will email MP.

Does anyone think paper letters work more than emails? Just wondering.

littlbrowndog · 02/07/2020 22:49

Will do

bishopgiggles · 02/07/2020 22:59

Have emailed. My MP is one of the worst though.

334bu · 02/07/2020 23:01

Will Scottish MPs vote on this?

lionheart · 02/07/2020 23:03

Done.

TheABC · 02/07/2020 23:14

Will do! Thanks for sharing this.

Jeanhatchet · 03/07/2020 07:08

Thanks for this. Have pointed at my MP on Twitter (as she ignores emails unless you give her all your details and I have anonymous voting for safety)

11stoneTess · 03/07/2020 08:50

Thanks for highlighting this, will write tonight.

kojolo · 03/07/2020 08:53

Thanks for the link, OP!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 03/07/2020 09:40

Thanks for the link! Overseas so no MP to write to, but will try to figure out alternate ways to help.

Bumping thread

reinacorriendo · 03/07/2020 10:19

Done one of my councillors I’ve had dealings with and he’s great. Also emailed Keir Starmer during pandemic and had a response from his office.

Will share this too

ValancyRedfern · 03/07/2020 10:36

Done and thanks for the heads up.

ArcheryAnnie · 03/07/2020 11:47

Will email mine. He's generally reasonable, though reluctant to put his head over the parapet.

Southall Black Sisters really are amazingly fantastic.

Cloud1921 · 03/07/2020 12:27

Emailed my MP and Liz Truss.

Let's hope in this current climate they act to protect some of the most vulnerable women in the country.

Read a few threads in the past couple of days asking what white women are doing to support our BAME sisters and this seems like something we should all be jumping on that would do just that.

Thelnebriati · 03/07/2020 12:45

Lets see if my uber woke MP responds to this one.

BTW I just asked and none of the male members of my family have a 'to do' list of emails, crowdfunders and petitions like I do. Does anyone have any idea why this is? I'm baffled personally. /s
