Counting on … day 1.102

26th April 2023

Why do we need events like The Big One?

Gatherings of scale such as the Big One do 5 things:-

1. Shows the authorities the size of public opinion
2. Encourages those taking part that they are not alone in their endeavours
3. Encourages other to find out more and/or join in the campaign
4. Gives participants and spectators stories to tell that further the campaign
5. Brings together and builds links between groups with similar aims.
