Description:

London Stays is our mark of showing that, regardless of the EU Referendum result, we stand alongside the people of Europe to show we are inclusive, open and patient to understanding how we can make the Leave decision into a positive one for all. We stay with Europe!

If you’re outside of London we’d love for you to join us in your own towns and cities – here’s to
‘Manchester Stays’, ‘Fort William Stays’, ‘Berlin Stays, and further afield.

This will be a celebration of London, UK and Europe, so feel free to bring:

• A flag of your country
  
• National dress
  
• Banners and signs
  
• Music
  
• Games
  
• Anything else that promotes connectedness
  
  
  

Moving forward, we want to come together to understand and educate ourselves on how the Leave decision can create a positive environment for all people – regardless of age, gender, race, demographic, location, and their Leave or Remain vote.

There has been an incredible interest in this event, and to follow our ethos of not dictating what people should do or think, we’ve been inspired by Burning events to include our principles:

1. Participation: This is an event for all, and so all are welcome.
   
2. Positivity: We promote positivity around the referendum, not wishing to blame, and always with the mindset of wanting to find creative ways of looking to the future. We do not base prejudice based a person’s decision to vote.
   
3. Leave no trace: We want to commit to leaving no physical trace of our presence after we gather – and so clean up after ourselves.
   
4. Education: To use the gathering of people to educate ourselves on the policies, and engaging in healthy debate
