What happens next?We are off on tour!!!It is our aim that the

banners be sewn together to form a large

protest banner which will tour as many

Methodist schools as possible, to be seen by

as many local people as possible

What else can I do?

We have produced a petition that asks our local MPs to raise this

issue with the Foreign SecretaryGet your school and local

community to fill out as many of these as possible.

Why not hand these to your local MP when you host the banner

in your school?

Get stitching...
