Bristol debates EU Referendum

The newly elected Mayor Marvin Rees has agreed to give a few opening remarks at the EU, in-out debate, in Bristol next week. Three racial equality organisations are teaming up to put on a European Referendum debate in Bristol on the 26th of May.

Voice4Change England, Operation Black Vote and the Black South West Network are holding this crucial debate from 6:00 -8:30 in the evening at M Shed in Bristol, to encourage and promote voter registration ahead of next month’s referendum.

The issues that are to be discussed around ‘Brexit’ will affect every person in Bristol that’s why we are encouraging a lively debate for the remain or leave arguments around the EU.

Our organisations are also very keen for young people and all Black and minority ethnic groups to register to vote. Young people and those BME communities are often less likely to be registered to vote than other groups.

In this critical debate all our differing opinions are valid in a healthy democracy, and events like these encourage more engagement from the diverse back grounds in Bristol.

The debate is also supported by Up Our Street, BabassaInc, Hope Not Hate and the Somali Forum.
