I am requesting help on Twitter to spread awareness of our #SaveWILG campaign during Thursday evening’s Question Time, which is taking place in Caernarfon. We have fellow campaigners in the audience to ask questions, though we recognise that it is very unlikely that any question on the future of WILG will be aired on the BBC.
If you are busy on Thursday evening, don’t worry. You can also get the message across to Assembly Members throughout Wales at any time. We must make it clear 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. Even if you only manage to Tweet a handful of AMs, this could make a real difference to disabled people across Wales.
You should also look out for some BRAND NEW MEMES that will be coming your way very soon.
Thanks for your support.

SUGGESTED TWEETS:
Please be advised that these Tweets should be modified and adapted slightly to prevent Twitter from assuming they are spam messages. To help prevent this, the Tweets can also be individualised by using some of the many postcard photographs, electronic postcards and memes.
Key addresses to include for tonight’s programme and over the coming months are as follows:
First Minister Carwyn Jones – @fmwales
Minister for Children, Older People and Social Care, Huw Irranca-Davies -@huw4ogmore
