An Early Day Motion or EDM is a way an MP can raise an issue he or she thinks is important with the House of Commons and other MPs. These short paragraphs are sent round to all the MPs who then decide whether or not to sign them. If enough MPs sign an EDM that should persuade Government to at least consider the issue.
