Merseyside Disabled People Against Cuts

Disabled people fighting against austerity and disablism
We encourage those who can to a mask in order to protect immunocompromised members of our community and will have some masks available for those who do not have their own. We ask that political parties do not bring branded placards.

!["Dear [MP’s name],
I am writing to you as a constituent to express my serious concern regarding the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill.
As I am sure you are aware, the bill will have its third reading in the Commons on Wednesday the 9th of July. Cuts to Universal Credit for those unable to work of £200 per month, harsher criteria for additional support and increasing sanctions will do serious harm to disabled people.
[Here you may wish to give some personal context. For example how the cuts will affect you or a family member]
I am asking you to vote no on the third reading of the bill. It is unacceptable for the poorest and most vulnerable in society to be targeted in this way.
Kind regards,
[your full name, address, phone number]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mhp2hwcv3pfnqcwf7tv7sq4k/bafkreickwh2um7a2qgcbz7dlwr555kodxy7eqn6iean47njjsnkms3znqi@jpeg)
