DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A PEACEFUL PROTEST!

Dear students from London and the UK. Whether at an earlier education, or at university, the 23rd of June referendum on whether Britain remains or leaves the European Union is crucial to you. Whether you can vote or not, regardless of age and nationality, it is important that we all unite on the 30th of April to show the UK that we are strong and ready to manifest our disagreement and resistance against Brexit.

THIS IS HOW THE VOTE AFFECTS YOU:

a) If Brexit goes ahead this means EU students will have to pay international fees (much higher) and will be asked to leave the country once their studies finish.

b) An EU exit would mean UK students choosing to attend European universities would have to pay extortionate international fees, sometimes three times as much as native students.

c) British students wouldn't benefit from the celebrated Erasmus Exchange Programme. This EU-wide programme allows a British student to experience life at another European University, taking in different cultures and languages.

d) Teaching quality at universities will be at risk. Research funding from Brussels is worth £1bn a year. The University of Manchester developed the revolutionary material graphene because it received this grant and there is now a global market worth £250m surrounding it. In addition, 14% of UK academic staff come from other EU countries creating a continent-wide pool of knowledge.

Albeit this protest mainly focuses on how Brexit impacts us students, it is essential you read further into the many other political, social and economical impacts of a Brexit on our country.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:

If you are going to take part of the protest please bring your own material to manifest yourselves (flags, messages, cardboards, etc...) I myself am a student and do not represent any kind of organization, etc, and can not provide material.

Although, if unions and other student groups want to bring forces together to produce material and maybe even hold speeches that would be awesome.

It would also be very helpfull that if you are particularly interested into growing this protest that you contact your school or universities student unions and inform them of this peaceful protest and to help spread the word! I will be contacting numerous student unions myself and spreading the word over several social medias.

As of right now, this is a protest limited to London but other students around the United Kingdom are welcome to set up their own protests at the same time on the same date.
