#WOW Goes To Parliament...
After 15 months of campaigning, and the success of the online e-petition getting over 100,000 signatures, the WOW (War on Welfare) Petition is heading to the Main Chamber of the House of Commons on Thursday 27th February, 2014.
The debate, which is scheduled to start at 11.30am and is graciously being presented on behalf of the campaign by John Mcdonnell MP, is looking at "Effects of welfare reform on sick and disabled people" and will follow Business Questions. The timetable can be seen here.
If you wish to get involved, there will be a gathering outside the Houses Of Parliament at 10.30 to show support for ill and disabled people and to let politicians know how important this debate is. If you're able to join us we'd love to see you.
If you're not able to get down to London, you can follow the debate in the following ways:
