I am requesting help on Social Media to get the message across to Assembly Members across Wales that there is still time to reverse the awful decision to close WILG and transfer all responsibilities for Independent Living to local authorities.
A list of AM Twitter handles can be found below along with a suggested Tweet and electronic postcards and memes that can be attached to Tweets for greater impact. Those of you who are not on Twitter can use Facebook to send messages, postcards and memes to AMs or you can email them using their addresses that can be found on this mailing list.
It is also still not too late to show your support for the #SaveWILG postcard campaign. You can download and print postcards below or get in touch with me and I will send you a few hard copies.
Even if you only manage to contact a handful of AMs, this could make a real difference to disabled people across Wales.
Thanks for your support.

SUGGESTED TWEETS:
Disabled people with high care and support needs are in search of your support to maintain Independent Living for all. #SaveWILG

This is the impact of closing the ILF in England https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-living-fund-post-closure-review #SaveWILG

@JulieMorganLAB @fmwales #NewYearsDay same old neglect from my Local Authority. The need for overnight support is obvious and urgent. The need #SaveWILG is greater than ever as LA’s cannot provide the high levels of care and support needed by former ILF recipients. #SaveWILG
These Tweets should be accompanied by some of the many postcard photographs, electronic postcards and memes.
