RIFT Project – lobbying for a pledge to support citizens’ rights
This is a month-long project, running from 9 May to 7 June 2017, in which we ask as many people as possible (from RIFT and from other groups) to write to the main parliamentary candidates in their constituency, asking each candidate to pledge their support for a full guarantee of UK/EU citizens’ rights as outlined in the EU draft negotiating guidelines.
Anyone can participate, whether you still have a vote or not; to make sure we get major reach across constituencies we’re also suggesting that each person asks 5 friends or family members to take part as well. On this page and associated pages we provide all the resources and guidelines you’ll need, whichever category you fall into.
Why do this?
For three reasons.
- To educate and raise awareness amongst parliamentary candidates of the issues surrounding UK/EU citizens’ rights, in particular of what needs to be guaranteed and why. Many will be unaware of the complexity around this subject and in particular of the indivisibility of the rights we currently hold.
- To harness support and collect pledges for a guarantee of those rights to match that proposed by the EU, along with a commitment to ring-fencing those rights.
- The contacts we have with local candidates will contribute information which can be used to inform decisions about tactical voting.

San Juan Bremain Event
On Friday 23rd June, all along the costas, the locals will be celebrating the eve of San Juan, the longest day of the year.
This year, we intend to use this wonderful occasion to mark the anniversary of that fateful date when all our lives were thrown into chaos and uncertainty.
Our plan is to get as many people together, on their local beaches as possible, with placards which can be ceremoniously burned on the bonfires showing just how we feel about Brexit.
All you have to do is get as many of your friends, acquaintances, neighbours & fellow Bremainers together as possible and make your own placards or signs. More importantly, take loads of photos, which we will use on our website & in press releases across UK and Spain.
Not only is it a great opportunity to tell everyone what we think about Brexit, but also to show us Brits in Spain integrating with the Spanish in this very traditional Spanish activity – a far cry from the more usual bowls club or British pub photos that the press are so fond of using.
Please join us and help make the San Juan Bremain event a night to remember!
