Use it or lose it. On May 23rd, citizens of the 28 member states of the European Union go to the polls to elect new Members of the European Parliament. This includes us in the UK.

So let’s remind ourselves just how the EU and its Parliament support the key components of civil society

The Government has held a re-negotiation of our relationship with the EU that promises - at least in the short run – to make everyone worse off, less secure, and diminished in the eyes of the world. Emotionally, we have already `left’ the EU, so the pro-Europe campaign must set out a positive case to answer the question of why we want to `join’ Europe.

Tuesday's vote has shown what we already know - that May's Brexit lacks support, and she has no solution. It's increasingly clear that the Only Way Forward is a People's Vote. 

If you want to show your support for the People's Vote campaign, then you can do so at our next Action Day taking place on the 9th February before May's third attempt at her Brexit deal. The field campaign is continuing to grow, but your local group needs YOU. Click to find an action day event taking place near you!

Last week, we included our new survey to improve the experience of dedicated European Movement members like you, {{recipient.first_name_or_friend}}. Please fill in this short Members' Feedback survey if you haven't done so already. All answers are completely anonymous. And a massive thank you to all of our members that have completed the survey so far. 

Finally, as promised last week, the reveal of how you can win the chance to get a discount on our online store is here! But how? We are bringing back our referral scheme that we ran in October last year. Many of you have helped us to recruit more members during that and since then. 

That's why, this year, we're asking you to invite your friends and family to join our organisation, and rewarding you for your efforts.

Each month, whichever member recruits the most new members will win a £50 voucher to spend on the European Movement online shop to spend on whatever you want - including some exciting new items that have been added recently. On top of that, you'll win a signed copy of Saving Britain by European Movement Vice-Chair, Lord Adonis. And with your permission, you'll also be named Member of the Month in our newsletters for members. 

PLUS whoever recruits the most members over the course of the year will get to have a dinner with a very exciting pro-European leader. 

So how does it work?

All you have to do is encourage people to become members using these links unique to you:

If you just want to send it to someone directly, your unique personal link is http://www.europeanmovement.co.uk/memberships?recruiter_id={{recipient.id}}

We'll know who's become a member thanks to you, and give you the credit! You can share the link through social media, emails, messages, whichever method that you prefer, to your friends and family encouraging them to become part of European Movement UK.

To have the best chance of winning, all you need to do is encourage as many people to join as possible! That's literally it!

We hope that you enjoy this fun new incentive and thank you for your support to European Movement! 

Kind Regards,

Lauren Pemberton-Nelson

After the Brexit Vote failing last Tuesday, and May's lack of solid plan for Brexit, it's clear that Brexit isn't working, and a People's Vote is the only way forward. Thank you to everyone who attended the wonderful rally that took place last week in Parliament Square.

This is a vital time for the UK. That's why we continue to encourage you to show your support for the People's Vote campaign in whatever way you can. This includes sticking the free poster on your window, writing for our thousands of supporters on the European Movement blog (please email me at [email protected] if you're interested), volunteering for the People's Vote campaign and getting more involved with your local group. It's also still not too late to write to your MP asking them to support a People's Vote. You can also donate to the European Movement to help us further with our field campaign. 

Another brilliant way to help with the campaign is attending our National Action Day taking place this Saturday! This is the second Action Day that we're holding this month because now is such a crucial time to engage with people and show that the country needs a vote on the Brexit deal! Click to find an action day event taking place near you!

As a vital part of our organisation, we want to make sure that you are getting the best experience possible! Please fill in this short Members' Feedback survey that we have created. All answers are completely anonymous.

Your weekly Briefing rounds up a selection of Brexit-related news from the UK, the rest of Europe and beyond. Click on the blue links for the full article.

Today's local election results sends a clear sign of the country's view on Brexit, which risks the future of Labour and the Conservative party. Big swings to the Liberal Democrats and Greens - two parties which unequivocally support a People's Vote - shows that a People's Vote is the only solution to the political crisis that we're in. Meanwhile, UKIP have lost approximately 100 seats, dramatically proving that Brexit is no longer the will of the people. The losses suffered by Labour and the Conservatives show that both parties need to recognise the growing apathy with this Brexit process - both from people who voted Leave and Remain in the last referendum.
