March on October 20: People's Vote

So much has happened in one week...

I'm now based in London, even if I was here very regularly, and I'll be back soon at the BBC World Service, where I worked from 2009 to 2012.

Here people are facing an important moment for the future of their democracy, because of all the challenges linked to the referendum on the European Union in June 2016.

Let's hope it will help reassess and improve both the democratic values, the political system and society.

Here is an important event. Message from the organisers:

Dear Melissa, When I helped launch the People’s Vote campaign in April this year, I never dreamed we’d come so far in such a short space of time. In just six months, we have shifted the entire national conversation around Brexit. A People’s Vote is becoming more and more likely and leaving the EU is no longer an inevitably. That’s all thanks to your efforts. But we cannot get complacent. It’s time to press home our case that a People’s Vote is the only way to resolve the Brexit mess. That’s why, on Saturday 20th October (midday), we will be gathering at Park Lane in London for the biggest Brexit march this country has ever seen. In June, over 100,000 people from across the UK marched through the streets of London to demand our politicians listen to us. We need this march to be even bigger. This is about the future – the future of our country for ourselves, for our families and for the next generation. They will be the ones who are forced to pick up the pieces and deal with the consequences of the Brexit mess if we continue down this path. We must act now. The eyes of history are watching us. Back in April, few thought any of this would be possible. But we have started to turn the tide, together. Now it’s time for one last push, to make sure the dream of a People’s Vote becomes a reality. Together, we can make it so. Sir Patrick Stewart Actor and leading supporter of the People's Vote campaign P.S. Check out our new shop with exclusively designed People's Vote merchandise.
