People's Vote March — Saturday 19 October 2019
Hundreds of People's Vote supporters from Brighton and Hove descended on London for the Final Say march. Our double-decker coach was packed and many more flocked on to trains to make their voices heard as Parliament sat on a Saturday for the first time since the Falklands war.
As the speeches began in Parliament Square (and while the BH4EU group was still making its way down Piccadilly, such were the numbers on the march) we received the very welcome news that the Letwin amendment had passed, forcing Johnson to ask for the extension he said he'd never request. We live to fight another day! For many more images from the day, click here.
Rally For Our Rights — Saturday 12 October 2019
Our own Susie Courtault addressed the crowds at this event on behalf of Women 4 Europe.

Brighton and Hove People's Parliament — Saturday 12 October 2019
A number of BH4EU members attended this event, organised by our three local MPs as a response to the unlawful prorogation of Parliament.

And MPs Peter Kyle (Labour, Hove), Caroline Lucas (Green, Brighton Pavilion) and Lloyd Russell-Moyle (Labour, Kemptown) showed their support for Saturday's People's Vote March with BH4EU member Frances Bill.
