Did you hear Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn mention EU citizens' rights or the position of Britons in Europe in their TV debate?

The fate of #the5million EU citizens in the UK and Britons in the EU is being over-looked in this election because we do not have a voice.

Can you chip in £10, £25, or more to support our campaign?

We can neither forgive nor forget the systematic way in which up to 1.7m EU citizens were excluded form the EU elections this summer as were thousands of Britons abroad.

That's why we want all parties in this election to commit to a public inquiry into #DeniedMyVote

We also want the rights of EU citizens in the UK to be secured in primary legislation and the right to vote and stand in local elections safe-guarded through a commitment not to remove these post Brexit.

But this does not go far enough.

The insult and injury that has been piled onto EU citizens in Briton, and the hurt and anxiety felt by many Britons abroad calls for redress.

We seek this through the adoption of an #EUGreenCard to ring-fence our rights including freedom of movement for Brits in the EU.

We also demand the right to vote in General Elections as equal citizens.

Just like the suffragettes, EU citizens in the UK and Britons abroad have been the victims of a grave injustice.

It is only by mobilizing ourselves and by asserting our rights that we have succeeded in making our voices heard.

Brexit risks turning #the5million into second-class citizens.

That's why we say, give us our vote, give us our voice as free and equal citizens in the state we now call our home.

With the help of actor Kate Willoughby in the character of suffragette Emily Davison, we will launch our Manifesto for Citizens' Rights on Monday, 25 November at Pushkin House in London.
