What do we stand for?
Oxford for Europe is campaigning to keep Britain in the EU. Brexit is NOT inevitable; more and more people are realising the Brexit deal is not what people voted for - and want a People's Vote so they can have their say on the terms, with an option to stay in the EU. We are particularly concerned to safeguard and protect the rights of all non-UK EU citizens living and working with us in the Oxford area.
Who are we?
Oxford for Europe are affiliated to the nationwide networks
Britain For Europe and the
European Movement
, and actively engaged in the
People's Vote campaign, in close partnership with neighbouring groups in Oxon, Bucks and Berks. We are a grassroots organisation funded purely by individual donations. We are not aligned with any political party and welcome volunteers from any party or none.
We also have close local links with
Oxford European Association
What do we do?
Oxford for Europe hold a stall every 2 weeks in Oxford, often in Cornmarket Street, Oxford, finding out your views, sharing information and engaging citizens in campaiging activity like writing to our MPs. We are always happy to talk to people regardless or whether you voted leave or remain.
We have an ongoing programme of high-profile local public events, as well as actively supporting national and regional marches and rallies.

Panel Event - Stopping Brexit: Campaigning to win - hearts, minds and votes
In Oxford, December 6th, 2018.
A public panel event hosted by Oxford for Europe, co-sponsored by European Movement (Oxford region) and Oxford European Association, chaired by Justen Hyde (Oxford for Europe)
How do we get a People's Vote on Brexit? How do we win it?
With the government poised to offer the nation a terrible Brexit deal that no one voted for, our panel spoke and took questions on some key issues:
- Tackling the causes of Brexit, including austerity and widening inequality.
- Building a cross-Party majority in Parliament to reject the deal and no deal.
- National and grassroots campaigning for an informed People’s Vote on the deal.
- Using the resources and techniques required to build public opinion in support of EU membership.
Speakers:
Will Hutton
Layla Moran
Jon Danzig
