Dear John,
I've got some important news.
You probably already know that the People’s Vote campaign is planning one more huge march in London this October when we really have to make our voice heard ahead of a decision that will decide all our futures.
But I’m writing to tell you the date is changing to October 19th - a week later than planned.
The original date would have clashed with a sponsored run being held that morning to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. We didn't want those participating in the race to get caught up in the vast crowds we’re going to have, to undermine fund-raising for one of Britain's best-loved charities, or to do anything which might distract attention from the importance of our march.
And the new date of October 19th - just 24 hours after the European Council summit and 12 days before we’re due to leave the European Union - may yet turn out to be a pivotal moment in the history of our country.
Yes I'll be there <[link removed]>
It will be a march to save our democracy, our country and our future.
Boris Johnson wants to force his scorched earth Brexit on us, even though he explicitly ruled out No Deal in 2016. He does not have our permission and, on October 19th 2019, he will hear our voice loud and clear as we march together for a People’s Vote.

We know our three previous marches have made a difference.
We know that this people-powered movement can change the course of history again.
We know we can’t do it alone.
So tell your parents, tell your children, tell your friends, tell your brothers and sisters, tell your neighbours.
In fact, tell passing strangers on the street and yes, tell that distant second cousin once removed that you only usually see at weddings and funerals.
We’re changing the date.
We’re changing history.
It’s October 19th – and we ALL need to be out marching on the streets of London.
Yes I'll be there <[link removed]>
Thank you for everything.
Together we can win this.
Best,
Stephen Fry,
Leading Supporter of the People’s Vote campaign
