The Hope for the Future campaign has been initiated by the churches and has the support of Christian Aid, Tearfund, Rowan Williams and many more. The campaign is asking individuals and groups in key constituencies to write to their MPs about climate change and to ask that their manifestos demonstrate what they are going to do about it.
WDM is asking for local groups and supporters to also take part and write to their MPs. Do you live in the constituencies of Sheffield Hallam or Sheffield Central? If so, please take action.
A template letter is below, and you can also find out more about the Hope for the Future campaign on their website.

We want to see a world where ordinary people control the resources they need to live a decent life, rather than corporations and the super rich calling the shots.
