· Hosted by Cardiff for Europe – Caerdydd Dros Ewrop

It’s time to take to streets. Boris Johnson is ready to override democracy to deliver a Brexit that the country doesn’t want. But this is bigger than Brexit. It’s about defending our democracy and our Parliamentary system.

PROTEST FOR DEMOCRACY
2019-08-30 16:00 - 19:00 | Shrewsbury Square, Shrewsbury Square, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom
NOTE: the date, time and location are provisional, but at the moment I cannot find another event on Facebook for Shrewsbury so I wanted to make a start.
—————————————————-
This is a protest against the decision by Boris Johnson to ask the Queen to temporarily suspend Parliament.
Deliberately shutting down the democratic work of elected MPs in order to force through a No Deal exit from the EU is an abuse of powers of the Prime Minister.
To circumvent elected officials from trying to come to a solution is shutting down not only their voices but all of ours.
We disagree.
There is currently no plan: bring placards, bring your voices, bring your cheer and goodwill. And, looking at the weather right now, bring an umbrella.

Emergency Demo: Defend Migrants, Defend Free Movement
2019-09-04 18:00 - 20:00 | Home Office, 2, Marsham Street, London, SW1P 4DF, United Kingdom
Hosted by Labour Campaign for Free Movement and Another Europe Is Possible
The UK Government has announced its intention to scrap freedom of movement immediately from 1 November in the event of a no deal Brexit. This would be the biggest expansion of borders in generations.
The Government’s plans will make EU nationals in the UK subject to the hostile environment whilst also taking away the rights of UK citizens living in Europe. The legal status of millions of people would change overnight, placing some of the most vulnerable migrants in danger of deportation.
Now is the time for us to organise and resist the Tories’ callous attempts to take away our collective rights.
A system of free movement is the best way to protect and advance the interests of all workers: it means people have the right to work legally, join a union and stand up to their bosses without fear of deportation or destitution.
We must defend free movement and we must extend it too, to include all those facing the brutality of the current UK border regime. We must also organise to dismantle Fortress Europe and create a society of solidarity and dignity, not violent borders.
Join us on 4 September. Stand up for migrants, stand up for your rights, stand up for free movement.

Attacking Regional Inequality: The Right Brexit Response
2019-09-04 19:00 - 20:30 | Houses of Parliament, Bridge Street, London, SW1A 2PW, Bridge Street,, London, SW1A 2PW, United Kingdom
Attacking Regional Inequality: The Right Brexit Response

by Remain and Reform

The Brexit vote in 2016 was a kickback against a system which does not work for most places in the country. But Brexit will only make this mass inequality, correctly identified, worse.
Instead, we must take sharp and radical action to fix regional inequality. The alternative is to say that the country was doing fine on this front on this front on June 22nd 2016. It wasn’t. We need to use the wake-up call of the Brexit call to rally round and take the long-needed steps this country needs.
At this event, we’ll discuss how.
This will be the first event of our Remain and Reform project, which is aiming to provide the space for the conversation on what the remain and reform should look like. You can find out more about Remain and Reform here.
