With just over a week until International Women’s Day<\/strong><\/a>, we’d love you to join our next Why\u00a0#<\/s>votingmatters chat<\/strong> on Sunday 1 March 2015.<\/p>\n

#Votingmatters<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a new campaign from\u00a0#Emilymatters,<\/strong><\/a> which champions gender equality and encourages young women to vote, ensuring that legacies of women, such as suffragette\u00a0Emily Davison,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are not forgotten.<\/p>\n

The chats are led by young people and open to all in the UK and beyond. #Votingmatters globally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Working with a core team, the Why #votingmatters chat<\/strong> format is constantly under development in response to your feedback. We’ve got some exciting new plans for the chats in April.<\/p>\n

We’ve also got a very special #Votingmatters<\/strong> campaign as part of #IWD2015. More information on the way very soon!<\/p>\n
