The 48% constituency groups

The starting point is that if you are on Facebook you should also be a member of your local "48%" group, as well as any other local groups that you support.  Never mind that in some cases these groups have low membership: they are all going to grow massively from now on.

​

If you are an ex-pat it’s a good idea to join the constituency group where you last voted, but you can join any of them and encourage things along.  If you don’t remember the exact name here’s a constituency finder: https://mapit.mysociety.org/.  You just need your postcode.  Once you have the constituency you can find the group on Facebook by searching for “The 48% - [constituency name]”, where the constituency name is the name of the constituency with North changed to N and South to S etc etc.

 

Another way of locating constituency and other territorial pro-Europe groups is to use the twelve 48% index groups on Facebook.  These are supposed to be just lists of constituency and regional and other groups.  Each one has a linked discussion group.  These “discussion groups” are for posting items of general interest, but especially messages about events and campaigns for onward transmission into all the groups in that region.  Become a member of these groups and your reach is extended a good deal.  Here are the Index groups:
