We want to keep up a conversation with
our MPs on
climate change
throughout this 5-year parliament,
beginning at the June 2015 Speak Up climate lobby
but carrying on so they know this is a priority for the
constituents they represent and won’t be allowed
to forget.
Using art
creativity to get across a message in a deep and
memorable way has always been at the heart of the way we
want to campaign and share our faith as a network. It’s easy
to overlook petitions, or for an MP to send an impersonal
standard response through a letter – but we want a real
conversation with them about what they hope to achieve
whilst they are our MP, and what we’d like them to achieve on
our behalf.
So – we want to make them handmade gifts! A gift – because it
is friendly, and personal, and hard to ignore, and memorable.
Handmade – because we want to begin a conversation about the
world we are ‘handmaking’ together;
what does our handmade future currently look like, and what
do we want it to look like?
You can do this on your own, or together as a group – a
SPEAK group, a youth group, a church home group, a campaign
society, a bunch of crafting friends... knit a scarf, make a
paper craft card, carve a spoon, build a bird box, paint or
embroider a picture, decorate a photo frame, record
a CD, up cycle a piece of
furniture...
