Dear Naresh,

This week we sent out a press release to let everyone know about our inaugural National Assembly on Saturday 24th November. You can read it on our website.
We’re aiming for a strong press contingent to cover the event — for your chance to make the news be sure to join us as a member and attend the event.

Marching for a People’s Vote

Last Saturday many Renew members and supporters joined the march for a People’s Vote in London. Over 700,000 people attended, making this the largest political protest since the anti-Iraq War demonstrations in 2003. Thanks to everyone who came along and those who donated money to feature their name on our banner. Here are a few photos from the big day:

Renew in Brum

Away from the office, our leader Annabel Mullin travelled to Birmingham to visit Renew candidates and members, to hand out instructional tool-kits and to discuss plans for our National Assembly. Birmingham is a key regional hub for Renew but there are many more stops along the road — James Clarke is off to Nottingham today, while Annabel visits Manchester and Bristol next week.
Renew candidate Julie had a chat with us at the event. You can watch her video by clicking the image below.
