From Simon John

Monday 6 January 2025

Hello, I'm just going to leave this below for anyone who is interested and who wants to send a message to our Labour MP about attending and supporting this bill. It is a message from Carla Denyer, MP and co-leader of the Green Party.

I appreciate some of you will not want to do this and will have strong, oppositional stances to this bill, and/or the Green Party. That's fine. I'm not posting for a political fray. I'm just posting for information and then if those who want to take some action they may do so. Those who don't want to, don't have to.

The link takes you to a website whereby you can easily either write to our local Labour MP, Tweet him, or meet him at a constituency surgery and speak directly. You need to scroll down beyond the gallery of MPs who have already said they will attend the bill reading and support it for the necessary links to contact our MP.

Thank you. The message is below this line.

On 24 January, the Climate and Nature Bill, a private member's bill proposed by (Lib Dem MP) Roz Savage, and which I'm co-sponsoring (Carla Denyer, Green MP), has its second reading in the House of Commons.

We're aiming for 150+ MPs to be in Parliament for this moment. Can you help by making sure that your MP attends?

The CAN Bill, first introduced by Caroline Lucas (as the Climate Ecology Bill) in 2019, sets out a legally-binding plan for the UK to tackle the interconnected nature and climate crises, comprehensively, democratically, and in line with the most up-to-date science.

It now has cross-party support from hundreds of MPs and Peers, motivated by the knowledge that the UK is currently way off track and that we need a credible, joined up approach to accelerate action in this pivotal decade.

But it's not yet clear whether there will be enough support from MPs during the crucial parliamentary debate and vote later this month. That's why I'm asking you to help by writing to your MP, calling on them to back the Bill, and to attend on 24 January so the Bill can progress through Parliament.

Please help make a difference by clicking here and sending an email to your MP.

I am proud to be backing the CAN Bill. The Green Party has played a key role getting the legislation this far, and I know that - together - we can get it over the line.

Please email your MP and ask them to be in the House of Commons to vote for the CAN Bill on 24 January. Yes, we can!

Thanks so much for your support.

Carla Denyer
Green Party Co-leader and MP
