Important Petition Update: A Call for Accountability and Action
Hello everyone,
I’ve recently sent out an important update on our petition, which most of you should have received if your email preferences are set to accept updates. This petition represents our collective interests, values, and hopes for change. Yet, despite having a community of over 55,000 members, a significant majority have yet to sign. Let me be clear: if we truly believe in this cause, this level of engagement is not only disappointing—it’s unacceptable.
We’re working toward a meaningful goal that requires broad support. If you’re here, then you’re here because you believe in our cause, or at the very least, are curious enough to have joined. This isn’t a space for passive participation. Our work depends on active support and unified action, not silent agreement or simple membership. With the numbers we have, we could be creating far more impact than we currently are. Now is not the time for excuses, silence, or sitting on the sidelines.
To those who work in media, particularly the reporters and writers in this group, I urge you to consider the power you hold to amplify this message. You have a platform that could bring our petition into the public eye, helping us gain the traction we need to make a compelling case to Parliament. This cause is bigger than any one of us, and your involvement could make a significant difference. I’m asking you to step up, use your skills, and help us create a ripple effect.
If you’re in this group and haven’t signed the petition, ask yourself why. If you are here because you stand with us, then now is the time to prove it. Passive members—those unwilling to lend their signatures—need to consider if they truly want to be part of this community. We don’t need people who are indifferent to the cause or doubtful about our mission. We need dedicated supporters who understand the stakes and are willing to contribute to our collective efforts.
This message is not directed at the committed individuals who have already signed and continue to show up for this cause. To you, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. Please don’t take this as criticism—your support is recognized and deeply appreciated.
And to those who might feel uncomfortable with this message or find my tone direct—so be it. I’m here to push for change, not to sugarcoat a call to action. If you find yourself offended by the urgency of this message, consider whether this mission truly aligns with your own values and whether you want to be part of a community that is fighting for change.
Let’s not let this opportunity slip through our fingers. This is the moment to act, and it’s on each of us to step up and be part of the movement we say we believe in. Sign the petition, share it widely, and let’s work together to make sure our voices are heard.
Thank you for your attention and, most importantly sign the petition
Pass wide and slow, Katie's Law (Highway Code Section 215 as Law for Safer Horse-Riding)
