Who Funds Stephen Bray? Income From His Job As Activist

Steven Bray is a former coin dealer and a British activist protesting against Brexit.

He recently posted videos on Twitter of officers approaching him near Parliament Square when his sound system was seized.

According to the Ministry of Justice, the police will be given new powers to deal with nonviolent protests that cause significant disruption to the public or access to parliament.

Metropolitan Police says Bray's equipment was seized under Section 145 of the 2011 Police Reform Social Responsibility Act.

It gives the force the authority to seize items being used for prohibited activities in Parliament Square. 

Who Funds Stephen Bray? Income From His Job As An Activist

Steven Bray is a British Activist who is now funded by crowdfunding and not by any national organization. He initially started with the money he had saved when he was a numismatist (Collector and dealer in coins). 

He does not make any income from his job as an activist. 

According to Fundrazr, Donations and merchandise sales to Sodem cover some of his activist expenses, such as flags and banners and daily travel. However, they do not cover his expenses. 

Fortunately for him, the crowdfunding linked to his Twitter profile has seen an increase in support. The protester told The Telegraph's Christopher Hope on Wednesday that he "raised £80,000 overnight."

The fundraiser began in July 2020 and has now raised over £203,500, with donations coming in every few seconds.

One person contributed £20 and stated, "We must always fight against those who wish to oppress and harm our human rights." Thank you, Steve, and know that you are not alone."

He claims that he never stops being an activist. Since coming here, he has lost three stones.

In the evenings, he watches the news, plans, and runs Facebook campaigns. He even shares an Airbnb in London with a Boris Johnson impersonator.

His friends and supporters are devoted to him. Elizabeth Evenden-Kenyon, the new Liberal Democrat candidate in Boris Johnson's constituency, is handing out free cakes. "I'm here to persuade the people around Steve to be nice. There's a lot of ferocity."

Who Is Stephen Bray Wife and Family?

Stephen Bray has remained discreet about his wife and family, who we believe are in South Wales. He considers his supporters his family at the moment. 

He gained notoriety for his daily protests against Brexit.

The former coin dealer, who was born in 1969, quit his job and relocated from Port Talbot in South Wales to stand directly outside the House of Commons.

Many refer to Bray as 'Mr. Stop Brexit' since he wears yellow starred EU trousers, a hybrid Union Jack/EU flag, and a "Stop Brexit" top hat.

In addition to protesting in Westminster, he travels the conference circuit to spread his message. Bray has stated that he will remain apolitical in terms of party politics while campaigning on this single issue.

He has been in front of the legislature since September 2017 after Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, formally initiating Britain's withdrawal from the European Union. 

Bray later admitted that he had never been to a protest before beginning his Brexit protest.

Stephen Bray Is A British Activist

Steven Bray is a British activist from Port Talbot in South Wales who held daily protests against Brexit in College Green, Westminster, in 2018 and 2019.

Stop Brexit Man, Mr. Stop Brexit, and the Stop Brexit guy are all nicknames given to him.

He was frequently heard shouting anti-Brexit statements from College Green in Westminster during TV broadcasts, or seen quietly walking into the background of live TV interviews.

He is often seen dressed in a bright blue outfit and carrying placards with simple 'Stop Brexit' or anti-government messages.

ITV, a British broadcaster, has described him as a notable figure, citing both the length of his ongoing protest and the technique he used to disrupt multi-camera interviews.

The Huffington Post called him the "ultimate Brexit protester," and Labour MP Ben Bradshaw referred to him as an international celebrity. 

Bray was named Person of the Year by PMP Magazine in 2018.  In late 2020, he ditched his signature EU-blue outfit in favor of a full Soviet-era Russian general's uniform.
