I believe a rising tide carries all boats, or in this case votes. The Emilymatters team includes a young political activists and we continue to build partnerships with other campaigns and organisations, including the WEA, The Peoples’ Politics and Fawcett BSE.

We’re now planning the next stage of the campaign, working alongside @RegistHERtoVote, which will include an exciting new campaign to encourage more young people and women to vote.

And we’d love you to join us!

Get in touch. We’re on:
