We're marching on Saturday because Brexit will hit young people the hardest

We, the undersigned, are the elected representatives of learners from across the United Kingdom. We speak on behalf of students from higher education, further education and apprenticeship providers.

Through our collective roles, we represent 830,000 learners across the UK.

Brexit is a generation-defining issue. It threatens to make us permanently poorer, and to limit the life chances of the young. It's why the overwhelming majority of young people and students voted to stay in the European Union in 2016, and why we back a People's Vote.

We are legitimately, and credibly concerned about our futures.

But politicians have let us down.

Their warm words cannot hide a simple truth – that Brexit will hit young people the hardest, for the longest.

So on Saturday, young people and students will be marching to demand that parliament #PutItToThePeople – and back a People's Vote.

There is no Brexit Deal that doesn't harm young people, or delivers on the promises of three years ago. There is no Brexit that doesn't exclude 2 million new voters, who have been shut out of the Brexit debate for the last three years.

We urge all MPs to join us on the streets of London, to show their support for young people. Our backing is not unconditional, and any politician that facilitates Brexit will be risking the support of young people and students.
