Meeting with your MP is one of the most effective ways to support human rights in Tibet and it couldn’t be easier. To take part just follow the steps below:
1. Find your out your MP’s contact details here or by calling the House of Commons Information Office on 020 7219 4272
2. Make an appointment to visit them at Parliament by using email, post or telephone. Explain that you will in Westminster for the Tibet Mass Lobby on March 10th and would like to meet them as close to 2.30pm as possible (we would like everyone to be at Parliament at the same time!)
Please note that your MP or his or her representative will have to come to meet you even without a confirmation of your appointment. So come down to the Mass Lobby on 10 March even if your appointment is not confirmed.
3. Let us know the name of your MP, his or her constituency and the time of your appointment by contacting liam@sftuk.org. It is very important for us to know if you are coming to the mass lobby so that we can coordinate with others from your constituency and you can meet your MP together.
You will then receive a lobby pack containing:
* Logistical information – timings, directions, meeting points, etc.
* What to expect on the day and from your appointment
* Information for you and for your MP about the primary concerns addressed by the mass lobby
* A lobby postcard with the key demands for you to hand to your MP
* Facts about Tibet including the current situation
If you have any questions or would like any more information email liam@sfutk.org
