Please join People’s Vote Coventry for an exciting event to discuss the importance of a People’s Vote and how Brexit could impact Coventry and the West Midlands.
Whatever your views on Brexit, no one would disagree it’s a big deal. The future of our country is at stake. Take back control of your future and demand a final say.
Speaker: Andrew Adonis
Senior Labour party politician, life peer, and leading People’s Vote Campaigner Andrew Adonis will be joining the Coventry People’s Vote group beginning at 7:15pm on Wednesday 13th March, to host a public meeting on Brexit (and how it can be stopped!). The discussion, titled Saving Britain, will cover the current state-of-affairs in Parliament and in Brussels; how a People’s Vote can be obtained and won; and why Remain is the only viable option for the UK.
