Hi,

I'm Àlex and I often work in the background, in fact this is the first email 
I’ve sent you. I support this community's work online by coordinating our 
social media accounts.

Since I started I've been impressed by the energy of this community. But 
recently, I’ve been producing our annual report and I’ve been bowled over by 
our power to transform Europe.

We've been living through a global pandemic and it has been rough all round. 
Yet, as we pulled together the stories behind the campaigns we ran - I saw a 
clear picture of hope in the despair.

So, I wanted to take time to write an email that’s a little bit different. 
Alongside preparing the annual report, I’ve taken the time to create some 
graphics just for you. Below you can find highlights from 2020 and share 
what you’re most proud of achieving together.

Get yourself a cup of tea, sit back and have a look at the powerful work 
we've done...


Together we’re ensuring Europe puts people before profits.

When the European Commission presented a new Chemicals Strategy, it 
threatened to deliver business as usual for big polluters. Well, until we 
intervened with our 127,000 strong petition! It helped those pushing for a 
plan fit for our planet to show citizens were watching. Together we forced a 
rewrite.

Along with fighting for a Europe that gives everyone a chance to thrive.

Last year Europeans were feeling the effects of the pandemic as industries 
shut down. So, our community lept into action. We took the idea of an 
Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) to the European stage. Showing that 70% of 
Europeans support the idea and kick starting a conversation we continue 
today.

Continuing to confront the threats to our climate

Global threats need global solutions. So, we know that the path to 
protecting the environment must be paved with EU action. In 2020 we had to 
move fast to block the recycling of lead contaminated PVC. So, we came 
together to send thousands of tweets and over 27,000 emails to MEPs. Our 
action helped ensure they voted the measure down.

And, we forced Europe's leaders to drop ties with big corporations.

It’s a simple idea, that those in positions of power shouldn't have 
conflicts of interest. Yet, it’s something we have to stand up for over and 
over. When several top political appointees failed to declare their full 
financial interests, over 100,000 of us pushed back. And we won. Together we 
triggered a wave of outcry that in two weeks forced a change.

But these spotlights just scratch the surface. We also hit a record 76% of 
funding coming from individuals like yourself! That’s critical for our 
community, because we don’t take a single cent from corporations or 
governments. These small donations mean we have the independence needed to 
be agile and powerful.

You can reflect on everything we did in 2020 in detail as the full report is 
out now for you to explore.

It tells a clear story of how we came together to keep the momentum going on 
many issues that could have faded. Because we are a community of over a 
million united by a belief that if people have a say, Europe can be better 
tomorrow than it is today.

If this past year has shown us anything, amidst the pain of the pandemic, it’s 
if we move together we can make great things happen.

Thanks for making all this possible,

Àlex (Barcelona) and the WeMove Europe team

PS. Don’t forget you can explore the full annual report whenever you like
