The United Nations has sent UN Human Rights watchdog, Special Rapporteur Raquel Rolnik to Britain to investigate the link between the infamous "Bedroom Tax" eviction threats and rates of suicides in Britain.
Meanwhile, our petition, the 'STOP the Bedroom Tax' petition has joined forces with the website WeWillBeHeard.org headed by Jessica Mccarnun who delivered 1,852 letters to David Cameron at Downing Street in July, from people affected by the Bedroom Tax - "The Personal Petition".
Jessica has been invited to a meeting to give evidence to the UN's Special Rapporteur Raquel Rolnik on the 7th September.
Therefore, all of us need to send our own stories now- in response to David Cameron's promise on February 27 to '... look at any individual case ... of any family badly affected by the bedroom tax...”.
Please take ten minutes now to send your story as an email (or scan attached to an email) to me at:
j.d.ingleson@gmail.com
If you are not affected by the 'Bedroom Tax' but know someone who is, then please encourage and help them to have their voice heard by contributing their story about how this tax affects them.
So this is YOUR CHANCE to make a difference! We Will Be Heard! Jessica will be submitting your letters in evidence to the UN to STOP the Bedroom Tax. So please get writing NOW and let's give the UN something to prove this government's evil disregard for the poor and vulnerable.
Send your story to me at: j.d.ingleson@gmail.com and I will pass it on to Jessica.
