Good stall in Falmouth today. A few Brexity types: "Why aren't you flying the Union flag, aren't you patriots?"

Not all doom and gloom, though, it was mostly positive, with younger people, including students, who were keen to answer the questions and who were very much in favour of the EU.

Great stall in Falmouth on 4th July!
Perfect weather, super volunteers, lots of visitors & 11 new members. A young Dutch man was interested to find out all about Brexit and why it happened. He's here on an internship fully funded by Erasmus - something lost to our young people!

Good stall in Truro today!
Fine weather & many visitors who aren't accepting Reform's empty promises & xenophobic rhetoric. Maybe election results won't be as bad as predicted.
Hopefully everyone reading this will be voting on Thursday, for a party that supports our closer relationship with the EU.

Good Cornwall4EU stall today-while it lasted! 😏At midday torrential rain!
Nevertheless, many chats, including with students. Perfect, as we were pushing the "This is Erasmus" petition'. We also signed 7 new members & the board answers were encouraging. All worth getting a soaking for! 😁 #Euromove

Street stall went ahead despite awful weather. One volunteer couldn't make it, as train line was blocked by a fallen tree!
Quieter than last stall because of the weather, but responses encouraging. Gave out Erasmus leaflets & postcards and signed up 4 new members - so a worthwhile morning.

"This is Erasmus" action day.
Despite the cold, we still managed to engage with plenty of people regarding Erasmus and other topical issues. The board speaks volumes!
If you haven't signed the Erasmus petition yet, you can find it on the European Movement website. #EMUK @europeanmovement.co.uk

#FBPE The recently raise petition for rejoining the EU has gained over 35k signatures already, but let's get it to 100k+ and get a debate. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Petition: Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible

I believe joining the EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom. I believe that Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there ...
