Lots of people have asked me recently how to fight back, where they can put their anger and energy. I've a piece in the next New European on this. But for the meantime, here's a list of organisations you might want to support with your money or your time.
I would pick an issue you care about and get involved. Can be small or large. The following list of organisations isn't remotely comprehensive, just ones I particularly admire. Or which people I admire particularly rate.
For the fight for liberal internationalism there's @BestForBritain. While much of the rest of the Remain movement fell into bitter infighting, they kept a steady course, despite all sorts of mud flung at them.
@BestForBritain To protect immigrants: @the3million represent EU citizens in the UK, @BritishInEurope represent Brits in EU. The @JCWI_UK fights for immigrants in general. All brilliant.
@BestForBritain @the3million @BritishInEurope @JCWI_UK .@hopenothate combats racism. The Unity Project needs volunteers to help those targeted by the Hostile Environment. unity-project.org.uk/volunteer
@BestForBritain @the3million @BritishInEurope @JCWI_UK @hopenothate To fight for electoral reform, which I increasingly think is a precondition now for progressive politics in Britain, support @electoralreform or @MakeVotesMatter.
@BestForBritain @the3million @BritishInEurope @JCWI_UK @hopenothate @electoralreform @MakeVotesMatter .@SFFakeNews are powerfully effective challenging the financial model of fake news. @SBSisters have spent a lifetime working for black and Asian women's human rights.
@BestForBritain @the3million @BritishInEurope @JCWI_UK @hopenothate @electoralreform @MakeVotesMatter @SFFakeNews @SBSisters .@libertyhq to defend against the attack on human rights we know is coming. @Shelter to challenge the rise in homelessness.
@BestForBritain @the3million @BritishInEurope @JCWI_UK @hopenothate @electoralreform @MakeVotesMatter @SFFakeNews @SBSisters @libertyhq @Shelter There are of course countless others. But each and every one of these organisations is worthy of your support. If you're pissed off, take that anger and use it to help them.
@BestForBritain @the3million @BritishInEurope @JCWI_UK @hopenothate @electoralreform @MakeVotesMatter @SFFakeNews @SBSisters @libertyhq @Shelter Ah, sorry - Unity Project are on Twitter here @TUPLDN
