*[Enwl-eng] Big plans for 2021

[ENWL]

There’s a lot of darkness in the world right now, probably more than many of 
us can bear. So instead of focusing on that, I want to focus on what gives 
me hope.

And what gives me hope is you and this brilliant community, Vladimir. We’ve 
achieved a lot in 2020, with only a little.

In a year where “normal” was turned upside down, we held strong. We spoke up 
for a Europe that heals and rebuilds together from the crisis. A rebuilding 
with people and planet at its heart. And we demanded an emergency basic 
income for all.

But we need to do more in 2021 on some of the most important issues of our 
time. And although it’s not expensive to run WeMove Europe, it’s not free. 
While almost a million of us sign petitions and email our leaders, less than 
1% of us donate to keep it all going. From printing banners and posters, to 
having top notch digital systems that maintain our privacy, to translations 
in 7 languages -- all of these things cost money. And all are vital to 
winning campaigns.

In January we sit down with the budget to see what we can afford. Sadly, 
without more recurring monthly donations we might have to scale back what we 
do, not turbo-charge it.

It’s a difficult time to ask for money, but if you can donate a few euros 
each month, please do consider it, Vladimir. Our bills don’t get paid by 
governments or big corporations. We rely on small monthly donations from 
people like you.

We have big plans for 2021. Here’s a sneak peak of what your donation could 
pay for:




No new money for coal, gas and oil. All EU countries are making plans on how 
to spend the money they get from the European recovery fund. In April they 
have to present these plans. We will campaign for that money to be invested 
in renewable energy; to go to nurses and doctors; and not towards lining the 
pockets of fossil fuel industries. Start a small monthly donation now to 
make this happen.



Protect those who need it. We know it’s wrong when men in uniform on a 
border patrol vessel drag a rubber dinghy carrying women, children and men 
away from safety. The EU not only allows this but helps pursue it. We will 
continue to fight for the rights and the dignity of all people seeking 
safety. Start a small monthly donation now to make this happen.



Redistribute to the 99%. The pandemic is making the super-rich 1% even 
richer and the lot of poor people even poorer. The Universal Basic Income we 
demand is built for these situations -- where everybody hit by the pandemic 
(or simply tough times) would have a safety net. We call for a European 
pilot program to start unconditional financial support for all. Start a 
small monthly donation now to make this happen.



Protect our Forests. Forests are sanctuaries for plants and animals. They 
provide us with fresh air and clean water. Yet EU policy defines the mass 
burning of forests as renewable energy and funds it with billions of our 
public money. In 2021 we can change all that as the EU will be reviewing the 
policy that makes it all possible. We will call for the EU to stop 
encouraging the burning of our Forests. Start a small monthly donation now 
to make this happen.



#WithdrawthisCAP. The EU pays for bad farming which harms the climate, our 
health, and biodiversity. Farmers get the biggest chunk of EU money simply 
because of the size of the land they farm on. But this money should be 
linked to what it does for our health, climate, and nature. We will call on 
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the EU Commission to #withdrawthisCAP, 
the Common Agriculture Policy and replace it with a version for people and 
planet. Start a small monthly donation now to make this happen.

We’re people from all walks of life, who call Europe our home, no matter 
where we were born, where we live or who we love. We unite and take actions, 
we sign petitions, send letters and protest on the streets to make our 
voices heard. You’re vital to our success. Please help to make us strong for 
the challenges ahead of us.
