ABOUT EU IN BRUM
Founded in July 2016, EU in Brum is part of a national grass roots movement of people who:
​​
-
value their citizenship of the greatest peaceful, democratic, political and economic project that Europe has ever known;
-
are dismayed by the failure of the British political establishment over the past forty years to promote this;
-
were disgusted by the lies that formed the Leave campaign in the 2016 Referendum;
-
are ashamed by the treatment of their fellow citizens from other EU countries who came to work in Britain in good faith but are now subject to violence from racist thugs and discrimination by the government bureaucracy;
-
are terrified of the consequences of Brexit for Britain's economy, democracy, environment, workers' rights and place in the World; and
-
are determined to take action about these things.
​
EU in Brum has members and leaders who are citizens of the UK, other EU countries and the rest of the world.
​
We both campaign within the British political system and support those whose welfare is threatened by this disaster.
This affects everyone, whatever their nationality - it is not "someone else's problem".

-
invited knowledgeable people to give talks about the issues;
