We think that future generations deserve to experience a countryside full of life and beauty, as we do today. If you agree, we would love to see you in Westminster on Wednesday 26 June as part of the CPRE Sussex lobby group.
What is The Time Is Now?
The Time is Now is a mass lobby of MPs, organised by our friends at The Climate Coalition and Greener UK – two groups that represent millions of people who care about our environment. The event will bring thousands of people together at the same time on the same day, demonstrating to MPs the importance and urgency of this issue. It’s people power in action!
When and where: Wednesday 26 June, 1pm – 4pm
CPRE are meeting from 12 – 1pm outside Westminster Abbey by the Crimean & Indian Mutiny Memorial
If you have never done anything like this before – don’t worry! It’s not as daunting as it sounds. CPRE will be on hand throughout the day to support you. The conversations with MPs at these events are structured to give everyone a chance to speak, and MPs usually take plenty of time to listen.
So, will you join us in Westminster on Wednesday 26 June to tell your MP why the environment matters to you?

Here is a template message you can email:
Dear ………………..
I am writing to you as one of your constituents to invite you to attend the UK’s biggest climate and environment mass lobby 'The Time Is Now' on 26th June at 1pm.
I'd like to talk to you about climate change and the environment and ask you to take strong action. I'm particularly concerned that the scientific consensus that climate change is happening is not being translated into meaningful action. It is vital that the government acts now to ensure that our children have a future. .
On 26th June I will be joined by other constituents from my local area to discuss this with you. Thousands of people from all over the country will be attending and we really hope you can join us.
WHAT: The Time Is Now mass lobby for climate and environment action
WHEN: 1pm onwards, June 26th
WHERE: The lobby will be made up of thousands of people meeting MPs outside parliament. Please go to Old Palace Yard, where you will be met and taken to your constituents.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you can attend. I look forward to hearing from you and I hope to see you there.
Yours sincerely,
………………………………………………….
