• Print VoteClimate Posters: put them up in your windows and on work/community noticeboards
• Print VoteClimate Flyers: hand out to friends and colleagues, leave in the office kitchen / coffee area

Letters to the Press

We had a flurry of new members joining when VoteClimate was recommended in a comment under an Observer article, igniting an online discussion. Can you do similar?

• If you see an article in the national press where VoteClimate is relevant, please find the article online and post a comment publicising VoteClimate.
• Local papers are desperate for content for their websites and they publish many letters received. Please look up the website of your local paper and write them a message mentioning VoteClimate eg how voters can look up their MP's record.
• You can often comment under articles and letters on local newspaper websites. Please try to start a debate about VoteClimate.
