There are 10 different ways to help the campaign, all of which are listed below:
1. Go leafleting
You are free to download our leaflet and have it professionally printed by any company either locally or have them delivered to you by post; there are several low cost online services. There is also a leafleting Q&A below which we recommend you follow.
- The leaflet size is A5 double-sided.
- The downloadable file is in pdf format.
- When choosing paper type 100-130gsm gloss is good quality and cost effective.
Q. Where should I distribute leaflets?
A. You can distribute leaflets through any letterbox or hand them out in a town centre (you do not need a licence to do this). You could ask local businesses to leave them on the counter or put them in the window. You can also pin them to noticeboards if you have permission.
Q. What are the best times for leafleting?
A. We recommend distributing leaflets between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM as outside of these times can be disruptive. You should not distribute leaflets between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM as this may be considered a breach of the peace.
Q. Can I attach them to lampposts or other property?
A. No, you should not interfere with public or private property. Even if the attachment is non-permanent you still shouldn’t do it. You should not put them under car windscreen wipers either.
Q. What should I do if someone reacts negatively towards me for leafleting?
A. This is unlikely, but you should either say nothing or simply respond with something very polite and carry on enjoying your day. It’s best not to argue with people.
2. Start a local petition and send it in
You can petition your local area or workplace, and get your family, friends, and neighbours on board. Download the petition sheet by clicking the button below. Print out as many sheets as you need. Once completed, send them back to PO Box 7875, Stourbridge DY8 9LH.
3. Spread the word
Engage with individuals you know are sympathetic to the cause. Encourage them to sign the petition and participate on social media. Use the #ImmigrationReferendum hashtag, or give any related content a boost by liking and sharing it. You can find us on the the social media platforms here:
4. Research
Conduct your own research and document your experiences with the effects of immigration. We can publish your contributions in various places.
5. Write to your MP
Write to or email your local MP. We’ve provided a template you are free to use. WriteToThem.com can automatically send the email to your local representatives by providing your postcode. Keep the pressure on and continue emailing if you don’t receive a satisfactory response. Remember to support political parties that endorse our campaign.
6. Attend meetings
Attend parish/community council meetings and begin building contacts at the local level. They are typically held monthly. Many positions are available for the taking, so inquire with your council about how to become involved (co-opted). Alternatively, you can organise your local community into action committees. We have campaign representatives who can speak at your meetings and provide networking opportunities.
7. Be a voice
Become a voice in your community. Speak openly and freely in your WhatsApp groups, at the pub, in your place of worship, and throughout your community. Be mindful of the audience and avoid overwhelming people. Remember, the majority of people are supportive of our cause.
8. Be confident
Once you feel confident, begin discussing the topic with those who may be less receptive, but do so with care and respect. Everyone deserves consideration, even if they disagree.
9. Attend events
If you have the opportunity, attend press conferences, university lectures, public meetings, and even programs like BBC’s Question Time to express our viewpoint to influential individuals. A confident and articulate speaker can attract millions of views and significant attention. You could be that person.
10. Sign and donate
Lastly, remember to sign the petition and, if possible, consider donating to our campaign.
