Rejected petition Hold a national two minutes of silence for the late Jo Cox (MP).

Jo Cox was a former aid worker, and then became head of global policy for Oxfam. She went on to become an MP, into which role she carried her passion for improving peoples' lives. She was well-loved by constituents and colleagues alike. She died today in an attack, and she leaves behind a family.
