Mission & Goals
OurStar.org.uk was set up in 2020 to campaign for the return of the United Kingdom to the European Union. We do this using one large, representative Star, symbolic of the yellow stars on the Flag of Europe, as a talisman, to gain media attention and aid discussion and demonstration of the advantages of being a member state. We operate only in the United Kingdom, although we seek to maintain contacts with MEPs and officials to understand the position of the Europe Union on future UK membership. This registration is made to support our exhibition in the European Parliament from 19th to 21st September 2023, hosted by two current MEPs. During 2025 we campaigning for greater democracy in England and Scotland, and will repeat this in 2026. We also are part of the Constituent Network of the Democratic Odyssey project for creating a European People's Assembly.
EU Legislative Interests
All of the EU's legislative proposals and policies are with the scope of our discussions, although we are not seeking changes, simply comparison with equivalent UK policies, highlighting advantages of EU membership. Our activities in 2024 were directed at the UK General Election, including reporting on developments in citizen participation in EU policy making, and supported the Democratic Odyssey initiative holding European People's Assembly meetings in Athens and Florence. During 2026 we are focussed on increasing the UK's relationships with Europe and moving away from the United States.
Communication Activities
In September 2023 Our Star hosted a 3-day exhibition of the UK's Star of European Unity and Peace, as well as photographs and meetings at the inauguration for our campaign “Choosing Our Future” which involved meetings with MEPs and officials, all hosted and attended by sitting MEPs. All of the EU's legislative proposals and policies are with the scope of our discussions, although we are not seeking changes, simply comparison with equivalent UK policies, highlighting advantages of EU membership. In 2024 and 2025 our focus is on the UK, demonstrating that greater citizen participation in policy making improves democracy. We also remotely take part in Democratic Odyssey events in Europe with the prototype European People's Assembly.
