We the undersigned constituents of Bristol West MP; Stephen Williams, believe that the EMA is vital in breaking economic and social boundaries to education. EMA helps young people in this constituency get to their place of study, it pays for books and other course equipment and for many it pays for lunch while away from home. Therefore we call upon Stephen Williams MP to vote against the removal of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) in the vote in Parliament on Wednesday the 19th of February.

The volume of support for this petition has prompted a response from local parliamentary aides. I have secured a meeting with Stephen Williams to present these arguments before the upcoming vote.

stephen williams needs to grow a backbone and actually represent the people who voted for him instead of just toeing the party line. dont take this away from us.

The ema was the only reason I could afford to finish college. stopping it now ruins chances for so many people.

This is ridiculous. How are kids supposed to stay in school without this help? My brother needs this money for travel and books.
