More United's Campaign Platform
Aim
To give us a voice by building the world's first campaign website for people and MPs to work together across parties.
Update:
Great news! A group of More United supporters have agreed to match our crowdfund, pound for pound, up to a value of £27,500.
So for every £1 you give, the crowdfund gets £2, meaning your donation will have double the impact.
Who we are:
We’re alarmed about the future of our country. Our society is divided, our communities are under threat, and we’re being driven down a dangerous path of hatred and fear.
But nobody is listening to us. While Britain faces some of the biggest challenges we’ve ever seen, those in charge just fight amongst themselves.
We use More United to make our voice heard.
How do we do that?
We find MPs from all parties who agree with our values and who are willing to put country before party. Then we work together, across party lines, to make change happen.
What have we done so far?
Over the last few months, we’ve begun working with over 80 MPs, successfully campaigning to protect the NHS, restore a fund for Deaf and disabled candidates and change the visa system for doctors and nurses.
By standing together we’ve made our quiet voices loud.
In 2017 we launched the biggest ever cross-party intervention in a General Election. Our movement crowdfunded half a million pounds and used that money - as well as our voluntary power - to help elect MPs from different parties who signed up to our values.
What’s next?
Every day the stakes are getting higher. Extreme forces are at work within our democracy, deepening the tribal divides and sowing intolerance within our communities.
To defeat those forces, we need the right tools.
What do we need to do?
We've got plans for a campaign website, unlike anything British politics has ever seen.
It will mean you can:
- Find an issue and campaign directly alongside MPs you can trust, from across the parties
- Hear directly from MPs about what they're doing to advance those campaigns in Parliament
- Take action to help win campaigns in ways that suit you
- Stay updated on every new development as the campaigns unfold
It shouldn't matter where we live, who our MP is or what party we normally vote for. If we care about an issue, we should be able to find MPs who agree with us and who are willing to work with thousands of people like us to change the direction of our country.
This website will help make that possible. It's the next part of our journey to create an entirely new way of doing politics.
It will mean our movement can make a bigger impact on the issues that matter most.
How much do we need?
We’re launching a crowdfund to raise the £30,000 minimum (our stretch target is £40,000) that’s needed to build it.
What can I do?
You can donate to this crowdfund today to help reach that target.
When you do, you‘ll get early access to the site, with opportunities to test it and give your input.
If you have experience in building websites, we’d also love for you to join our team of volunteers. We’re looking for front and back-end developers, UX designers, data scientists and communications experts. Please email [email protected] if you have experience in any of these areas.
What will my donation go towards?
Every penny you donate will go towards building the campaign website. That means everything from writing the code and building the designs to carrying out testing and giving users the best experience possible.
The site will be cost-effective, though. We'll use existing templates and web ‘plugins’ wherever possible so that resources are spent on the things that really matter: growing and winning campaigns.
What if we don’t reach the target?
If we don’t manage to crowdfund the full £30,000, we’ll use whatever we do raise to make improvements to our existing website. It will still be a brilliant experience, but we’ll be able to make it even better if we hit the target.
What if we exceed the target?
Our new campaign website will be even better! We have plans to go even further, running more campaigns and giving our movement more tools to increase our political influence. A big part of that will be providing more tools to help you take action, so you can connect with like-minded people across the country to run campaigns on the issues that matter most to you.
