GREENWICH
FOR EUROPE
The Greenwich Pro-EU Campaign.
Still fighting for a positive future in Europe.
ABOUT OUR CAMPAIGN
About us
We are a local pro-European grassroots group, formed in early 2016, which campaigns for the UK to remain a full member of the European Union as this will be in the best interests of the UK and all who live here. We are proud to be members of the EU, and also proud of this country. We believe any form of Brexit, and especially the divisive and extreme no-deal Brexit that is now Government policy, will be a disaster for the UK.
We are the Greenwich branch of European Movement UK and are members of Britain for Europe. We are also part of the cross-party People's Vote campaign, which is campaigning for a second referendum on any Brexit deal.
If you share our concerns, and want to do something about the direction that the UK is heading in, then get in touch. There is a lot that can still be done to defend our way of life. We will continue to stand up for our beliefs no matter what the future holds.
What we do
Lobbying politicians
We lobby MPs and MEPs to act in the best
interests of the UK, not blindly follow a whip.
We have also held several meetings with Matthew Pennycook MP, Shadow Minister for Brexit to discuss the current crisis.
Community Engagement
We hold street stalls, in collaboration with other grassroots groups, and attend events in the community where possible.
We also created a survey to determine the local impact and fears of Brexit when Article 50 passed its 1st vote in Parliament
Supporting pro-EU movements
We take part in pro-EU demonstrations and marches, and proudly support events which show solidarity with our European friends and neighbours
We campaign for the most pro-EU candidate in by-elections, regardless of their party, as we did in Richmond for Sarah Olney MP.
Spreading a positive message
Through our newsletter and social media we spread a positive message about the EU, debunk Brexit lies, and share EU-related
good news. Join the newsletter below.
Regular meetings
We hold monthly open meetings, chaired by our organising committee, where strategy is discussed and group decisions are made.
As members of European Movement UK, Britain for Europe, and the London Pro-Euopean Forum, we also meet with other groups on a regular basis to organise joint campaigns and share best practice.
