Support the 'People's Emergency Briefing' initiative

Please help by answering a quick questionnaire before the event (1), and afterwards (2). This will build valuable data for the media and for the local MP - and will help improve the film's impact. 

Can you host a screening? Groups are hosting screenings in their local communities, in village and town halls, libraries and community cinemas. Organisations are screening it for their staff or members - encouraging them to go on to screen it in their local neighbourhoods. It will be screened at conferences and festivals. 

The MP for North Somerset is Sadik Al-Hassan. He has joined and signed the Parliamentary Call for a televised emergency briefing - this not a request to show the film on TV but instead a call for a prime-time Covid-style briefing across all channels.

MPs' actions are data driven. Therefore please write to thank him - each letter counts as a data point that backs him up in this debate, and pushes the climate & nature crisis up the government's agenda.
