Emily Davison Tribute \u2013 Your Vote Matters!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

On\u00a04th<\/sup>\u00a0June 1913<\/strong>, suffragette\u00a0Emily Wilding Davison<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0made her final brave protest, in the name of\u00a0Votes For Women<\/strong>, at the Epsom Derby, the date of this year\u2019s Derby. With the upcoming\u00a0EU Referendum<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0voting matters are very much on the agenda.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Referendum result will have a profound effect on the future of the UK, yet\u00a01.5 million<\/strong>\u00a018 to 24 year old potential voters won\u2019t get the opportunity to have their say at the Ballot Box, unless they\u00a0register to vote<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by 7th<\/sup>\u00a0June.<\/p>\n

See our Thunderclap page<\/span><\/a><\/strong> for more information about who can vote<\/strong>,\u00a0how to register<\/strong> as well as details\u00a0about the Remain<\/strong> and Leave<\/strong> campaigns<\/p>\n

It’s a decision that will affect all our futures, but it will impact young people\u2019s futures most of all.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe that\u00a0Emily Davison<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and her sister suffragettes would urge all of us to reach out and ensure that everyone we know is on the electoral register and able to vote (in person<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0by post<\/a><\/strong>, or\u00a0by proxy<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Young people have the most at stake in this, so it would be a hollow victory without their active participation.<\/p>\n

Emily Davison<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0was an incredibly smart woman, who knew the power of Deeds AND Words. That\u2019s why, with your help, we can pay tribute to her and spread the vital message far and wide on social media that \u2018Your vote matters. Make sure you can use it!<\/strong>\u2018<\/p>\n

THANK YOU<\/strong> to everyone who joined our #EURef Register to Vote ThunderClap<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0on Saturday 4th June<\/strong> 2016.<\/p>\n
