The following is a transcript of a speech given by Movement for Justice’s (MFJ) Antonia Bright at a Stop Trump rally in Parliament Square on Monday 20th February 2017, where a number of activists and leaders in civil society spoke out against Trump and the nationalist surge he embodies. Today, with the triggering of Article 50, the process of Brexit has formally begun. MFJ have been organising around the message that ‘Brexit is racist’ for months – are their priorities different now, will they rally around a different front? Antonia said:
“The fight to stop Brexit is one that has to continue. Nothing is settled, and in any case destroying the rights of minorities is not democracy. It has to be fought. There isn't a choice on that.
