🚨 On Wednesday June 9th MPs will be voting on the Universal Credit Bill which still contains devastating cuts. It’s vital that you contact your MP and tell them to stand up for ill and disabled people.
The Austerity Action Group open letter to the Chancellor opposing proposed cuts to disability benefits was signed by +100 social workers: Only MPs can now stop +1 million people being pushed newly or into deeper poverty by the cuts. Write to your MP today
