*[Enwl-eng] BIG NEWS on GLYPHOSATE

[ENWL]

Hi,

Two days ago was the fourth anniversary of the founding of our community, 
and some major news came in right after we sent you the email below: Germany 
announced it will phase-out glyphosate over the next few years and ban it 
from the end of 2023! When glyphosate’s EU license is up for renewal, if 
Germany votes against it there won’t be a majority of EU countries to 
support it. [1]

This news is a major win for our community, and is just one example of how 
our movement and our people-power are winning. Please send us a €4 gift to 
celebrate our fourth anniversary and this milestone on glyphosate. Your 
contribution to our movement will power campaigns like this for years to 
come.

            Send a €4 gift for our 4th anniversary


Thank you,

Virginia

Hi,

Four years ago today, the very first of us in this community signed our 
first petition. Soon we started campaigns on TTIP, the Volkswagen fraud, and 
glyphosate. Back then, barely anyone knew what glyphosate was. But, four 
years later, people across Europe have woken up. Together we’ve shown the 
EU, our governments, and multinational corporations that we will not be 
silent in the face of injustice.

Our board members are traveling to meet in Brussels tomorrow to make big 
decisions about the future of our movement. A wave of support from 
individuals like you could provide the extra confidence our community needs 
in our budget for the next year! With unlimited resources, just imagine what 
kind of progressive change we could make throughout Europe -- but our 
resources are finite, so every donation, no matter how big or how small, 
supercharges the impact we can achieve together.

If each of us in this community donates just €4 today, a euro for every year 
the WeMove community has worked against injustice, we will have the 
stability and the resources we need to take on the most vital issues in 
Europe over the next three years. And -- we’ll have the budget to work in 
more languages, so that we can reach more people and band together for the 
progressive change Europeans need.

We’ve had some big wins -- we shortened glyphosate’s latest license by 10 
whole years, and the next application for an EU license will require more 
transparency of industry studies than ever before. [1] Glyphosate is just 
one of the important issues we’ve campaigned on over the last four years. 
But while our community has genuinely moved Europe for the better, we have 
so much more work to do.

Today, Europe is at a crossroads. New European Commissioners are about to be 
appointed, and they will chart the course of the EU for the next five years. 
And in the next five years Europe will face some of the biggest challenges 
of our time: Bayer/Monsanto will apply for a new license for glyphosate, 
asylum-seekers fleeing war and persecution will continue to arrive on 
European shores, all while our climate emergency gets worse by the day.

Despite these challenges, when I think about our campaigning victories, I’m 
inspired to look toward the future of Europe. I think about the way we’ve 
won real legislative change, the way we’ve kept both multinational 
corporations (and the politicians in their pockets) on their toes, and our 
plans to see long-term campaigns through to the very end. Europe needs our 
community to fight for the things that matter most to us all.

Our successes (on glyphosate, whistleblower protections, single-use plastics 
and more!) over the last four years are in no small part thanks to you, 
thanks to this community of action. They are thanks to the petitions you’ve 
signed, the emails, tweets and Facebook posts you’ve sent to your MEPs, and 
the money that you’ve donated to our common cause.

Beyond these successes, the community we've built together is connecting our 
continent and fundamentally changing what democracy means in the EU - 
through democratic experiments like Citizens’ Assemblies and European 
Citizens’ Initiatives. Thank you, for fighting for the issues and values 
that we all hold so dear, and helping to reshape what democracy means to all 
of us.

Please make a donation to this community today, for our values and for the 
common struggles that are yet to come.



Thank you for being here with us,

Virginia (Madrid) on behalf of the entire team at WeMove Europe



P.S. It's easy to think that this isn't the right moment to donate, and that 
many others from our community will make contributions to honour our fourth 
birthday. But if we all thought like that, then most of the actions we've 
taken together wouldn't have been possible! So please, donate now to ensure 
we can keep fighting for a better Europe.
