<div style="text-align:center"><i><font size="1">(mural in La, Accra, Ghana)</font></i><br></div><br>UK elections - like the ones in the US - affect the futures of millions of people around the world.<br><br>This year, as a campaign for real democracy, we're giving our votes to people in Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Ghana who are affected by UK policies on war, climate change and trade. They're deciding which party - if any - gets their support.<br>
<br>For the first time ever, the borders of democracy are being directly challenged. But this is the beginning. There are already groups in France, Germany, Italy and the US who want to roll this into their elections. The momentum is building for a global movement that puts democracy before nationalism.<br>
<br>It's starting here, with this UK election. Be a part of it.<br><br>Pledge your vote for an equal world - <a href="http://giveyourvote.org/" target="_blank">http://giveyourvote.org</a><br><br><a href="http://facebook.com/giveyourvote" target="_blank">http://facebook.com/giveyourvote</a><br>
