The change we see

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

Every day and all across the country, we encounter new schools and hospitals, Sure Start and comunity centres, new bridges and roads and any number of other projects that have been the direct result of this Labour government.

Sometimes we take them for granted, and sometimes we just don’t know that these are the product of 12 years of investment and improvement.

To highlight some of these big changes, and to demonstrate our pride in the achievements of the last 12 years, Labour is today launching its Change We See campaign.

Change We See is a crowdsourcing campaign. That means it depends on you.

We’re asking members, supporters and members of the public to send in the photos they’ve already got of their new or improved local schools and hospitals – those modern facilities built by Labour since 1997.

We’re also asking for people to look around and take notice as you go about your daily lives, to take mobile snaps of what you see and to send them in or upload them to one of Labour’s social media platforms.

The best photos will be used at party conference in September, and in future Labour party publications.

There’s already a Flickr group where people can see some of the photos already sent in. Have a look now at some of those examples.

There are 5 ways you can upload your photos for the new campaign:

1 – You can upload your photos at www.labour.org.uk/change-we-see.

2 – You can email your photos to [email protected].

3 – If you use Flickr, or fancy trying it out for the first time, you can share your photos by joining the group Change We See.

4 – If you’re on Twitter you can use Twitpic to upload your photo and share it instantly and on-the-move, using the hashtag #ChangeWeSee.

5 – And if you use Facebook, you can add your photo to the Change We See page.

So, as you’re walking back form work or school today, or any day, have a look around you and get involved in the campaign to celebrate the Change We See.
