As an environmentalist I was particularly concerned about the impact of leaving the EU on the fight against climate change.
I learned so much about myself between 2016 and 2020. I am not the same person I was before. I am stronger, braver, more passionate, more rebellious.
Going to SODEM, being with people who are now friends, speaking to the general public, has kept me sane.
I thought we'd always be in the EU. I have friends across the continent and love the freedom to go as easily to Germany as to Newcastle. Then the crooks and liars stole my future, and I became politically involved.
I tried to use my social media channels and local groups to campaign for a PV, I joined EUFM, and stickered the hell out of everywhere I went for 4 years.
I've never been 'political’, but Brexit is the worst and most devastating thing that's happened in my life.
Why did I come? To be able to tell my grandchildren I tried as hard as I could to stop us leaving the EU and because peaceful protest isn’t just a right it’s a duty.
Ended up being one of the main organisers of the protest and saw it grow to one of the most successful grass roots protests of modern time. I'm proud we gave a voice to the groundswell of anger in the UK at the Brexit process and that we have a place in political history.
Dependent on childcare but I tried to come once a fortnight and for the Super-SODEM, either dressed as Robocop, Rees-Mogg or myself. I just want to say to my children that I tried my best to protect their rights and their futures.
I was a co-founder of Veterans for Europe, but immediately found my home at SODEM after my first visit. I was very late to the Remain campaign, but I'm proud I did everything I could to stop Brexit.
