Now that the date for the General Election has been announced, we need to find out where candidates stand on protecting the BBC. We want to make sure MPs in the next government are prepared to defend the BBC from cuts like the ones planned for 6 Music and Asian Network. Please write to your candidates now, and urge them to sign our pledge to protect the BBC if they are elected.

We need to make sure that our MPs put listeners and viewers first, not rival media moguls who want massive cuts. Email your candidates now and tell them to sign our pledge. Put in your postcode to get started – it takes just two minutes.

This is an opportunity to make sure the next government protects all BBC services. Urge your candidates to sign the pledge now – they want our vote, so if we all take just two minutes to email them they won’t want to say no.
