On January 28th, the day of our Climate Education Bills proposed second reading, MP Nadia Whittome announced that The Labour Party officially back our bill. On twitter, she wrote:
‘I'm thrilled to announce that @UKLabour is backing our Climate Education Bill!
Thank you to Shadow Climate Change Secretary @Ed_Miliband and Shadow Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP for your support.
I'm looking forward to us winning climate education together.’
This is a big win for our campaign! We can now say that our bill is supported by The Labour Party! Which in turn should encourage other MPs to support us too! This will give us a better chance of passing our second reading (now postponed to March 18th). The more MPs that support us, the less likely it is that our bill will be rejected. A big thank you to MP Nadia Whittome for her continued support and for putting our bill forward in the first place! Watch the highlights of our first reading when Nadia put our bill forward here.
Does your MP support our Climate Education Bill? Use our template to email them now and tell them to back the Climate Education bill to ensure all students are taught about the climate crisis and how to prepare for it, giving them the tools and the knowledge to create change. The next generation deserves climate education.
