none of us got into this because of PVHQ, we were already here campaigning to #stopbrexit long before the they formed. Whilst most of us support the campaign, they have after all helped to pull together influence and organise marches and big events ...

most of the hard campaigning has been done on our streets in our towns by local groups like ours and we set our own strategies where we live to reach our common goal. All the coaches organised from towns up and down the country have been put on by local pro Eu groups.
We have organised letter writing to MPs and local newspapers, stood on street stalls talking to people, organised events and invited speakers. We have done our own fundraising and been a part of a much bigger movement than the People’s Vote headquarters.
The optics were bad but believe me, away from twitter, some of our local volunteers leafleting yesterday reported getting a very good reception for the march and lots of people interested or already planning to go. Our coaches are nearly full and lots of other people
.getting the train. The march on Saturday is about an opportunity to get our voices heard en masse on the streets of London, its not about parliamentary procedure or MPs or PV headquarters, its about us making our voices heard together, as many of us as possible.
Why would we give up now? Nobody said it would be easy and we have had ups and downs and the odds are stacked against us but haven’t they always been and haven’t we come a long way from being a bunch of baffled individuals to
.being a massive movement with a broad church of views but with one common goal. We need as many people there as possible and the strong an unswerving support of those who cannot be there.
Forget political strategies and parliamentary game playing. Whether you want to #RevokeArticle50 or you believe we should have a #peoplesvote please support our march and come with us if you can . This could be our last chance before we lose our rights.
