    The vote is close: take action for the NHS today

    Today, we are launching our week-long push to get the House of Lords to pass the NHS protection amendment to the Trade Bill in the next two weeks and we need you to record a video message to them!

    The Day of Action over the weekend put the government on notice that we will not accept our NHS being sold off to the US healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. Now we're in a good position to get the House of Lords to pass the NHS amendment.

    Record a video this week and send your message to the House of Lords.

    Make your #DearHouseOfLords video
    We know videos capture people's attention and we need to show a tidal wave of care for this amendment and our NHS.

    The lords and baronesses will walk into the vote on amendments to the Trade Bill in the next two weeks. Our goal this week is to make sure we're in their ears and minds as they walk into that vote, by making sure we campaign hard this week!

    Here's how you can add your voice - in a few simple steps:

    📹 Record a 15-30secs selfie-video - start by saying "Dear House of Lords, please pass the NHS protection amendment because...".

    ❤️ Speak from the heart about why the NHS matters to you; tell your NHS story. It doesn't have to be expert - your voice is what matters!

    📲💻 Share your video on your Twitter account using this link OR on your Facebook account using the hashtags #DearHouseOfLords and #HouseOfLords.

    📨 If you don’t have a social media account, email your video to info@weownit.org.uk

    📵 And if you can’t make a video, send us a quote of no more than 35 words, with your first name and the town or city you're in. We will share it on our social media account.

    We have something for everyone to do because we need ALL hands on deck in this week-long campaign!

    Take action in the #DearHouseOfLords campaign
    The fate of our NHS might just depend on how many of us take action over the next 7 days - the #DearHouseOfLords campaign starts today, 26th October, and runs until Sunday the 1st of November - please help us to get this call everywhere by making a video!

    We are grateful for all the work you have already put into this campaign. We hope that in a few weeks all that effort will have paid off. Join the #DearHouseOfLords campaign now by making a short video!


    Yours Sincerely,

    The We Own It Team
