An appeal for your time as a volunteer for the defend campaign

The defend campaign  is very new and not only needs money and resources but also  needs as many volunteers as possible from across the UK who are keen to help defend free speech and democracy.  Wherever possible, your volunteering would be matched with your availabilty and skills and can be both home-based or in the community. People of any age or background will be welcomed within the bounds of safety and resources. 

Volunteers will initially be needed to help with research; whether home-based, on-line or within local communities. As the campaign grows, we'll need volunteers to help host events, make links with schools and other community organisations to encourage fairer free speech in its many forms whether on line or in person, over a cup of tea or on TV. We need people who are good at admin, sending emails, checking copy and checking facts! We'll need people who feel they can get involved in raising funds or resources which would help the campaign reach goals and be an ever lasting presence in defence of free speech and democracy for future generations.

As yet, the campaign has no staff so is very much a campaign of the people. We need people who may be good at fundraising or applying for grants. We will need people who are good at writing or collating case studies and reports to strengthen the campaign's aims. We need people to make links with other organisations or key figures who feel protecting free speech and democracy is an important aspect of their wider work. We'll also need people who are good at training other volunteers and empowering communities to take action. 

For the moment, please register your interest by sending your name and location with a summary of any specific skills or interests that you may have and an outline of what sort of availability you may have. Please also include a phone number if possible. 

Please send an email to hello@defenduk.uk 

Thanks!
