SEND US YOUR PHOTO SO WE CAN SPELL IT OUT, LOUD & CLEAR
More and more people in the UK are being pushed into poverty, without access to adequate social security support that hundreds of thousands of people need.
Social security is the financial protection provided for people to ensure access to income when it's needed to afford food, housing and other necessities.
For International Eradication of Poverty Day on 17 October, we want to make sure that the UK government gets the message loud and clear: SOCIAL SECURITY IS A HUMAN RIGHT!
We’ll be collecting as many pictures as possible from people all over the UK to show solidarity with those impacted by the current system. We’ll use some of the individual photos on our social media channels, offline supporter content and other materials.
And we’ll put all of the photos submitted (subject to moderation) onto a huge banner – using them to spell out the words Social Security is a Human Right.
We’ll take this banner to Parliament for the International Eradication of Poverty Day.
So take a photo with your message and email it to weekofaction@amnesty.org.uk . And we’ll take your message to the UK government.
