Grassroots Out (GO) was an organisation[1] funded by Arron Banks[2] that campaigned in favour of EU withdrawal in the 2016 referendum on EU membership in the United Kingdom.[3][4] The organisation was formed in January 2016, as a result of infighting between Vote Leave and Leave.EU,[1][5] and officially launched on 23 January 2016 in Kettering.

Despite its name, it was started by politicians from a mixture of political parties including Peter Bone, Tom Pursglove, Liam Fox of the Conservatives, Kate Hoey of Labour, Nigel Farage of UKIP and Sammy Wilson of the DUP.[6] The left wing Respect Party later joined Grassroots Out.[7]
