To see the speech by Yanis Varoufakis see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h4y-hQzZ6js\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The speakers were united in calling for a remain vote in the referendum on June 23<sup>rd<\/sup>, but also for this to be a first step in the campaign to make the EU more democratic and transparent, and to put in place EU-wide policies that promote employment, solidarity, greater equality and sustainable economic development.<\/p>\n<p>In her speech, Caroline Lucas called for a rejection of the toxic anti-migrant rhetoric of the Brexiteers, and for a celebration of free movement for the opportunities it gives us to \u201clive, work and love\u201d across 28 EU member states.<\/p>\n<p>Mobilisation of movements against austerity and the TTIP trade treaty showed that another Europe is possible, Lucas said, and (quoting Arundhati Roy) \u201con a quiet day I can hear her breathing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John McDonnell outlined his disagreement with those on the left calling for Brexit, arguing that \u201cour consciences do not end at the Channel or the North Sea.\u201d McDonnell said that transnational challenges such as climate change, regulation of the financial sector and international businesses, action against tax avoidance and dealing with the refugee crisis required a transnational solution, starting at the EU level.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow Labour MP Clive Lewis had made similar arguments in the opening session, saying that if the EU did not exist \u201cwe would have to invent it\u201d to meet these challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Sirio Can\u00f3s Donnay of the Spanish left Podemos party said that despite the harsh austerity conditions placed by the EU on southern European countries including Spain, people in these countries still wanted to be part of the EU, because they hadn\u2019t forgotten what Europe \u2013 and their countries &#8211;\u00a0 were like without the EU (riven by dictatorship and war).<\/p>\n<p>Campaigning journalist Owen Jones told the meeting that the ability of people to come together to bring about change should not be unestimated. \u201cChange is never easy, but we need to fight for it\u201d (to watch Owen\u2019s speech see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L1kSNVJvQXE\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The closing speech was made by one of the founders of the Another Europe campaign, refugee rights campaigner Zoe Gardner.<\/p>\n<p>All those at the meeting were invited to sign the London declaration, calling for a progressive In vote in the referendum, and for a popular campaign to bring a more democratic, open, social Europe, which promotes peace and sustainable economic development.<\/p>\n<p>To read the declaration (and sign it if you agree with it) see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.anothereurope.org\/declaration\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Another Europe campaign says that a vote for remain is not a vote for the \u201cstatus quo\u201d.
