Poppies for Peace Toolkit

1. Challenge the Media to ensure they are held accountable for breaches of the regulatory codes and keep their coverage free of bias and misinformation https://accountable-media.com

2. Share Your Story. As we stand to honour and remember on 11/11, share your story of a family member who fought against fascism, to protect human rights and preserve justice, freedom and peace. Use our template to submit their story and ensure their bravery and sacrifice is not forgotten.

3. Write to your MP. Use our template to write to your MP and urge for our government to call out war crimes against children and civilians and end the support of states that undermine UN and Geneva Convention and contravene Human Rights. 

4. Withhold your taxes until the government proves your tax money will not be used to fund activities which contravene basic Human Rights https://notaxforgenocide.uk

5. Make a donation. Put your money where your heart is and support charities who are providing aid to those in most need. Save the Children have identified Gaza now as the most dangerous place in the world to be a child. How can you help?
