Open Britain and European Movement were close partners during the People’s Vote campaign – and we plan to continue working closely together as we strive to build a better and more internationally engaged country.
European Movement UK was founded 75 years ago by a cross-party group in parliament and we remain proudly cross-party to this day. We helped write the first draft of the ECHR, led the UK into the European community, led the landslide victory to Remain in 1975, and helped coordinate the grassroots engagement the People’ Vote campaign in 2018/19. Since 2020 we have rapidly grown stronger as a membership organisation and now have nearly 24,000 members. This allows us to help support over 100 local groups, events and media activities, and also the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Europe where we serve as the secretariat.
Alongside colleagues like Open Britain, we will never stop working for a greener, safer, more democratic, more collaborative, more European future. And, like Open Britain, we are driven by a supporter base who passionately feel the same.
So please do consider becoming a member. Or if you’re not sure about becoming a member yet, then do at least join our mailing list so that you are kept in the loop about our progress and activities. A lot will happen in 2025 and we want you there alongside us.
