On Wednesday of this week, hundreds gathered at Westminster to protest at the government's plans to privatise Royal Mail. People rallied to protect the universal postal service and the network of Post Offices at the heart of our communities.
Now you can join them in taking action to prevent the privatisation of Royal Mail right from home. Please take 60 seconds to send a letter to your MP.
Our protest seeks to protect the universal service - six deliveries a week and one-price-goes-anywhere - particularly valued at this time of year. This key public service is a vital infrastructure that supports communities and local businesses. A private company may focus on cutting costs without considering the wider community impact.
To protect our local communities and your Christmas post, we must stop the privatisation of the Royal Mail. We need you to write to your local MP.
Speak out now. We've written a sample letter and supplied the contact info, we just need you to take a moment and add some personal touches.

In a recent national survey, 78 percent of the public believed privatising Royal Mail would be a bad deal for the taxpayer and 82 percent believed prices would go up. So if you agree with the majority of Britains and don't want a more expensive, less regular service, don't let this government lead us to privatisation.
Take action now.
