3/ With a UK general election on 4th July, politicians will be looking for our votes.
We have a responsibility as Catholics to make sure political parties commit to taking action to tackle poverty and injustice. Raising our voices and contacting parliamentary candidates as a parish community will send a strong signal to those standing for election in our local constituencies.
As Christians, we have a long tradition of being actively involved in the big issues of our time. The lives of many saints show us that the greater their devotion to the Lord, the deeper their commitment to addressing the social problems of their time.
That’s why we must make 2024 a ‘Year of Encounter’ where we use the general election as a special opportunity to speak with those running for election about the key issues that matter to us as people of faith. Such issues as poverty, climate change and injustice.

4/ Restore Nature Now March Sat 22nd June London Nature Needs You! Rivers choking on pollution, precious woodlands destroyed, seas overfished & peat bogs burned. Nature in the UK is being assaulted.
Last year XRUK created The Big One, where we invited other organisations, charities and groups to demand government action on the climate and ecological nature. On June 22 we return to London, this time, side by side with dozens of organisations and thousands of people from across the country to demand action in a truly co-created action. This March will have added urgency as it comes less than two weeks before polling day.
Pledge to march, find out more information and check out the supporting organisations: www.restorenaturenow.com
