October 2024

We continue to write to the Prime Minister and Secretaries of State to urge them to stop selling arms to Israel, amid the continuing genocide taking place in Gaza. Read our advocacy letters below, about Gaza and other issues, and use them as a template to lobby your own Member of Parliament.

Tools for advocacy

WILPF advocates for matters relating to disarmament, climate justice, human rights and women, peace and security. Below you can find and read the letters we have sent to parliamentarians to encourage change and support new policies to build sustainable peace. 

We hope that these advocacy letters will be useful as templates to lobby your local Member of Parliament and other politicians. TheyWorkForYou.com helps you find out all the details of your local MP by just checking your postcode.

We also encourage you to contact local media outlets and share our perspective. You can use this Newspaper directory, or radio postcode checker.

If you have a topic you think WILPF should write about, or are interested in writing or editing, please contact us and consider joining our letter writing group.
