Jacquie Mercer
Committee
Jacquie has lived, studied and worked in Cambridge for 40 years. As a technical author she has worked with many of Cambridge's high-tech firms, and appreciates the diversity of nationalities that collaborate to drive innovation.
After the EU referendum and general election, Jacquie sampled Labour Party politics in Yorkshire, and is a founder member of the Women's Equality Party. Disillusioned with Labour, she has let this membership lapse to concentrate on fighting Brexit and inequality. She is passionate about the UK remaining in the EU, and aghast at the thought that her children could have fewer opportunities to study, work and travel than she has/had.
