Dear Friend of OBV,
Re: 2010 General Election – ‘Black Britain Decides’
Help us make history! With an audience of 2500, and a BME media broadcast and web cast to nearly a million people, this will be perhaps the biggest political rally of the 2010 General Election. This is our collective opportunity to tell the political leaders and their parties that we care about our nation and we demand our right to make it a better place for everyone.
Operation Black Vote in partnership with church leaders, other faith leaders, business leaders, activists and the Peace Alliance will be hosting a political rally
‘Black Britain Decides’ on Wednesday 28th of April 2010, at 6.30pm. It is to be held at The Methodist Church, Methodist Central Hall, Westminster, London, SW1H 9NH.
In an anticipated closely fought election battle, the BME vote becomes crucial. We have outlined that there are at least 120 marginal seats that BME voters could significantly influence. This then is our time to demand greater social and racial justice.
The rally will be the biggest of it’s kind with all three party leaders invited along as well as other prominent speakers. Don’t miss this unique opportunity for Black Britain to play a positive and powerful role in this critical General Election campaign.
‘Black Britain Decides’ is free and places are limited so registering for it is essential. You can register on the web at: http://www.blackbri taindecides. com/
