Preparing for a general
election
General elections are a key opportunity to influence
future decision- makers. Although a general election hasn’t been called yet, it’s
likely that one will happen soon. How can we engage with candidates to share
our views and values?
Grace Da Costa, the new Public Affairs and Advocacy Manager
at BYM, has written a blog and briefing on how local meetings can prepare for a
general election. Read it at www.quaker.org.uk/blog
and contact politics@quaker.org.uk
with any questions.
