In Cambridge, London, and across the country, we participate in and organise rallies for the pro-EU cause, and support those of our friends elsewhere.
We organise a range of informational, political, and social events, to help the people of Cambridge better understand the EU and the implications behind Brexit, as well as to strengthen the membership aspect of our movement.
We are a cross-party and no-party organisation open to people of any age or demographic. We keep plugged in to the wider pro-EU world too, and have links to groups locally and nationally.
Paul moved from Dublin to Cambridge 20 years ago, and works for the University of Cambridge. With a background in scientific research and communication, he is a passionate advocate of evidence based policy, and recognises the importance of international cooperation to addressing the many problems that our society and the world face at the start of the 21st century.
As an Irish citizen who has chosen to make his life in the UK, Paul is acutely aware of the danger that Brexit poses to peace in Northern Ireland, and how populist nationalism is dividing the people of Europe at a time when we need to work together for a better future.
Cahir is a scientist and academic at the University of Cambridge, using fruitflies (Drosophila) to study motor neuron function and diseases. When the UK joined the EU in 1973, his home and most others nearby (in Northern Ireland) had neither running water nor a phone. For this reason and many others, he believes passionately that the lowering of barriers through EU membership has benefited the UK enormously, and should continue to do so.
After spending much of her career outside the UK, and with friends in many EU member states, Carol is personally aware of the advantages of the UK remaining a member of the EU.
Two of Carol's grandchildren are Dutch. Freedom of movement enabled her sons and their friends to receive education and live in more than one EU member state including the UK. This improved their chances and choice of employment and gave them a deeper understanding of diverse cultures.
Living in an uncertain world with conflicts breaking out, feeding terrorism, the UK is much safer within a family of countries working together and exchanging vital information.
Mary graduated in Natural Sciences in Dublin and shortly afterwards moved to London to work in IT. 15 years later she moved to Cambridge, where she has lived for 20 years. As an Irish lesbian Mary knows how helpful and powerful the EU has been in enhancing the human rights for LGBT people, women and workers across the continent. These hard won rights are now in jeopardy.
Mary has campaigned for Remaining in the EU, going on marches, leafletting and attending meetings, and will continue to do so until Brexit is stopped and the toxic culture it has engendered has been dissipated.
