We need your support
September is almost over and our team has been extremely busy this month fighting for the #citizensrights of the 3.6m EU citizens in the UK.
But we do need your continued support to keep us going. You can help us here

September 1st marked #800DaysInLimbo for the 3.6m EU citizens in the UK & 1.2m @BritishInEurope.

And we started the month by writing a letter to @MichelBarnier & @DominicRaab - telling them that #EnoughIsEnough - asking them to finally commit to #citizensrights by ring fencing the already agreed rights no matter what Brexit outcome

We toured the country to speak to EU citizens - updating them on where we stand on #citizensrights and what Settled Status means for them.

We appeared on TV, Radio and gave countless interviews to the national & international press.

We met UK and EU politicians to discuss how best to secure the rights of EU citizens in the UK - not just for now but in long-term

We organised a very successful fringe event at the @UKLabour party conference where we received strong support for ring-fencing #citizensrights from @hilarybennmp

And we finished the month with our #DearTheresa postcard actions, reminding the Prime Minister of her commitment and asking her to work with us to agree a separate #citizensrights agreement with the EU

But the work doesn't stop - in October our team will visit Brussels for 3 days again to speak to the @EU_Commission & members of the @Europarl_EN.

We will also host a fringe event at the @Conservatives party conference on Monday next week - aiming to repeat the successful event at the Labour Party conference. Tickets available here:

And of course a lot of work is going into organising our mass lobby on November 5th - a great event to push to MPs that a separate #citizensrights agreement is the only way to truly protect EU citizens & @BritishInEurope from no-deal Brexit

All of this is only possible thanks to the great financial support of people like you. People who agree that EU citizens in the UK & @BritishInEurope should not be disadvantaged because of Brexit. But we need more funding to continue. Please support us
