Every now and then it is good to know that not everything we do is in vain

Oxfam



Dear Nic,

You have been incredible this year. From marching on the streets against climate change, to demanding that the G 20 do more to fight Ebola – your support for our campaigning work has been nothing short of awe-inspiring.

You stood up for the world’s poorest people – and everyone from governments to big businesses are listening.

Dear nic,

Plans to cover up investigations into MPs expenses have been scrapped - thanks to 38 Degrees members. [1]

As soon as the plans were floated, 38 Degrees members got together to stop them. Over 200,000 of us signed a petition. And a whopping 31,000 of us flooded the MPs expenses watchdog, IPSA, with objections. [2]

Together, we made sure that there was no doubt - MPs work for us, so if their expenses are being questioned we have a right to know about it.

                                                                               
And of course her - always.

  1. Liebe Nic,
    wie schön, dass wir uns über die Blogs kennengelernt haben! Bist Du denn wieder gesund?
    Für das nächste Jahr wünsche ich Dir weiterhin viel Humor bei dem ganzen Alltagsschlamassel, der immer wieder über uns alle heinbricht, viele Sonnenstunden (nicht nur für die Photovoltaik), viel Spaß beim Lernen und weiterhin so einen wachen Blick! Ich glaube, vieles von dem, was wir tun, hat Folgen, also: Durchhalten!
    Alles, alles Liebe! Deine Sarah
