Thousands of pro-European campaigners will take part in demonstrations across the country this weekend in what has been dubbed the groups’ largest ever joint grassroots national day of action. Activists and supporters from pro-EU pressure groups Open Britain, the European Movement and Britain for Europe will stage events in every part of the UK, in areas that voted both Remain and Leave. Campaigners will then launch a new People’s Vote campaign off the back of the event, calling for the British people to get a fresh vote on the Brexit deal before we quit the EU. James McGrory, executive director of Open Britain, said: “Our largest ever National Day of Action is all about bringing together the various pro-European groups so that we can speak with one, unified, voice because we know that together we are stronger.”



James MacCleary, campaign director of European Movement UK, added: “The pro-European movement is gaining in strength and momentum and that progress will be reflected this weekend with a huge demonstration of grassroots power in favour of a People’s Vote on the Brexit deal.”



And Anne Weyman, vice chairwoman of Britain for Europe, said: “We may come from different political parties, different traditions and different groups, but we are united by our desire for the people to have their say on the Brexit deal and we are determined to make sure their voice is heard loud and clear.”



The national events come two days after Best for Britain, a separate campaign group, unveiled plans to launch a lawsuit aimed at securing a second referendum.
