Urgent: Ask your church to display this poster on Sunday

Churchgoers are urged to speak up against the Government's harmful and immoral cuts to vital lifelines. Please, join the calls.

The Government is proposing to dismantle vital parts of Britain’s social security system, but there has already been a big public opposition.

Disabled activists, campaigners, charities and churches have spoken up against the immoral and harmful cuts, which would remove many disabled people’s lifelines.

The cuts fly in the face of Government promises and evidence of what does or doesn’t work, and the consultation is stacked against disabled people, by consulting only on certain selected points. 

Join us and thousands of others in saying no to these immoral cuts. 

Please ask your church to download, print and display this poster in your church building, so people who are not already on our mailing list can speak up.

Urge the disability minister

The QR code on the poster will take you to this online form, where you can contact your MP and ask them to speak to the minister for disability, Sir Stephen Timms MP.

In December, the minister met disabled activists and he has promised that disabled people will be at the heart of this Government’s actions. The threatened cuts go against that, and we are urging him to honour his pledge.

Stop the immoral cuts: links and resources

If you run a Your Local Pantry, there is also a Pantry version of the poster here:

“When governments make choices that clearly – or even potentially – harm poor people, the church should say so.”
