Campaigning for respectful politics is a key part of our work. Abuse and intimidation should have no place in our democratic process. Civility is the first step to building a more tolerant and less toxic political space. 

Together with the Jo Cox Foundation we ask everyone engaging in politics to take the lead by signing the Civility Pledge as a commitment to creating a better political landscape. Hundreds of local and national politicians have already signed up.

Add your name.

Background to the Civility Pledge

The Civility Pledge has been created in partnership between The Jo Cox Foundation and Compassion in Politics, two organisations working to improve UK politics. 

Compassion in Politics is a cross-party think-tank working to put compassion, inclusion, and cooperation at the heart of politics. Find out more about their work.

The Jo Cox Foundation is the charity making meaningful change on issues that Jo Cox MP was passionate about, including respectful politics. Find out more about this work.
