Day Three Thank you so much to everyone who emailed 5 friends about the Home Office's anti-family income rules, as part of Day Two's action. Social media is also such an important tool for spreading the word, and today's action is super simple: share a message about the campaign, and why you support it, on social media. This could be on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or whatever other platforms you might use. There are some suggested posts below, which you can just copy and paste to post. They include a link to help people write to their MP. Of course, please do freestyle if you want to - just be sure to include that link, which is www.jcwi.org.uk/scrapMIRnow. If you're writing your own post, you could include links to recent news articles about the MIR, for example: Barbara's story - Barbara is an NHS cancer care co-ordinator, but she's had to take on a second frontline job in order to meet the Home Office's income requirement. She is pregnant, and doesn't want to have to give birth alone. Her story is here: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/coronavirus-nhs-bame-staff_uk_5edd5dc5c5b6c78ceb00fb1f Erika and Rebecca's story - Erika and Rebecca are key workers who have been risking their own health to look after other people's families during the pandemic. But the government says they don't earn enough to have their own families together.

I believe that's wrong. Find out more and take action here: www.jcwi.org.uk/scrapMIRnow ---------------------------------------------------------------- The @ukhomeoffice has built a system that splits people from their loved ones if they happen to be on a low income. I want them to have some compassion and let families be together, no matter what www.jcwi.org.uk/scrapMIRnow ---------------------------------------------------------------- In the UK right now, you have to "earn" your right to love. Our system tells people on a lower income that they don't deserve a family life. How can that be fair, or right?

Women and people of colour are disproportionately hit by these rules. That simply isn't right - let's make a change now: www.jcwi.org.uk/scrapMIRnow
