*[Enwl-eng] Our strength: Independence

[ENWL]

      WeMove Europe doesn’t take money from big corporations, to make sure 
we can campaign against them when they do the wrong thing. Can you chip in, 
so we can build on our independence and stay strong?

      DONATE NOW
Hi,

It’s a decision that many organisations have to make: whose money are we 
prepared to take? For a people-powered organisation like WeMove Europe, it’s 
a vital one. As our community grows more powerful, there’s more of a chance 
that we could come under pressure to drop a campaign when powerful people 
decide they don’t like it.

So, we needed to decide now, before we’re in that position. In the end, it 
was an easy one: we won’t take money from big business, no matter how much 
they offer us. That means we can keep on challenging the corporations that 
try to rig the European system in their own favour without risking our 
independence.

But turning down the money from big business isn’t without consequences. It 
means that if we want to keep on building a people-powered movement for 
Europe, donations from the WeMove community will be more and more important.

Can you chip in a few euros each month so we can keep on winning campaigns 
for a fair Europe in the future?

      I’ll donate €7
      I’ll donate €14
      I’ll donate €21
      I can’t donate monthly

WeMove knows how to keep our costs down. Long before coronavirus, most of 
our team worked from home, using straightforward technology to deliver our 
campaigns. Because we work online, we keep the costs of communicating with 
WeMove members very low.

But we can’t do it for free. Our staff need to be paid a salary, and we need 
to pay for the technology that we use to run the website.

We believe that’s worth every penny: in the last few months, WeMove members 
have spoken up for coronabonds in the COVID-19 recovery plan, and 
challenging abuses of refugees entering Europe. With just a little support, 
we can do incredible things together.

Can you chip in, so we can cover the essentials and plan ambitious campaigns 
in the year ahead?

      I’ll donate €7
      I’ll donate €14
      I’ll donate €21
      I can’t donate monthly

Thank you,

David (London), Jörg (Lübeck), Marta (Warsaw) and the entire WeMove Europe 
team
