    The document outlines opposition to Boris Johnson and the Conservative party's strategy of bypassing parliament to force through Brexit. It argues that the Tories hold democracy in contempt and only narrowly gained power in 2017 with little voter support. Brexit is exacerbating an existing economic and political crisis in Britain. The movement is calling for people to take action against the Tories through street protests and building an insurgent movement that can force a general election and prevent a "no deal" or "Tory" Brexit from occurring. Upcoming organizing meetings are announced.
