March in Central London
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine the European Movement hosted a series of events that both discussed Europe's response to the crisis and also expressed our solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
As part of this, the European Movement UK partnered with the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority to organise a march through Central London which culminated in a rally in Trafalgar Square featuring a range of speakers including the Mayor of London, actress Emma Thompson, and Vitali Klitschko the Mayor of Kyiv.
Staff from the European Movement UK were central to the success of the event due to our previous experience leading similar events during the People's Vote Campaign, and we worked side-by-side with the Mayor of London's team to ensure that the event went ahead as successfully as it did.
Our CEO, Anna Bird, also spoke at the event and you can see the video of her speech below.
