Additional Information

I'm shocked about the referendum vote to leave the EU. I'm not convinced people have made a truly informed decision. My biggest concern is for the future of our children and young people. As a mother of a 13 and 17 year old who are both able to make their own decisions and want to influence their own futures, I feel obliged to ask the people to support this petition. Thank you.
