*[Enwl-eng] Have your say

                        Next week, the European Central Bank is having a 
crucial meeting with the European Parliament: it is a rare chance for 
Members of the European Parliament to scrutinize the Bank and hold it 
accountable for its disastrous climate record.

                        MEPs want your view too! Your answers will reinforce 
MEPs’ action and send a reminder that a green, fair and sustainable ECB is 
still the number one priority for Europeans.

                        It will only take three minutes, are you ready?

            Shell, TotalEnergies, Repsol, Eni and OMV - these are just a few 
of the dirty and polluting companies the European Central Bank continues to 
finance against all scientific imperatives.

            As one of the least transparent central bank’s in the world, it’s 
near impossible to hold it to account for its climate and ecological 
negligence.

            However, a window of opportunity has opened and it's a real 
chance for you to actually have a say about the ECB’s policies.

            Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are meeting with ECB 
executives, including Christine Lagarde next week— it's a very rare 
opportunity for our democratic representatives in the European Parliament to 
finally ask the difficult questions, review the Bank’s performance and make 
our concerns heard above the din fossil fuels lobbyists intent on spoiling 
our planet.

            Ahead of the bank's meeting, MEPs need the weight of people 
power behind them.

            This survey is the occasion for MEPs to directly collect people’s 
concerns and raise them during their discussion with the ECB on 20th June.

            MEPs need to know what you care about – spend 3 minutes filling 
in the survey and make your concerns heard.

            TAKE THE SURVEY
            The ECB affects all our everyday lives and has the potential to 
improve our financial system or, instead, reinforce its failures. However, 
as an independent central bank it is hardly ever held to account for its 
decisions - even the bad ones.

            And when it comes to the climate policy, the ECB executives have 
been getting away with ecological murder by propping up and investing some 
of the most polluting companies in the world - corporations that have 
already pushed our climate to the brink.

            That’s why this June these talks between the MEPs and the ECB 
(Monetary Dialogues) are so vital: they are critical for us - the people - 
to say enough is enough to the ECB climate investments and propose a greener 
way forward.

            In the past, citizens have not been seriously included in 
Monetary Dialogues. We’ve teamed up with our friends at Positive Money EU to 
make sure this year you are and that your concerns are heard.

            It’s high time the ECB is properly scrutinized for its policies 
and for its failures.

            ahead of MEPs talks with the ECB, let them know your views: take 
the 3 min survey.

            TAKE THE SURVEY
            From the cost of living crisis, to war and its consequences in 
all Europe, the ECB is facing a critical period. However, it’s crucial we 
remind its decision-makers not to chase one issue with another: they can’t 
keep on ignoring the impending climate urgency. Answers to the global crisis 
have to be sustainable and fair, not a step backward for people and our 
planet!

            Hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members have already got the 
ECB to acknowledge its role in the climate crisis and push it to take first 
modest actions. Two years ago, thousands of you took a survey and we took 
the results directly to the ECB executives – they were certainly very 
unaccustomed to coming face-to-face with the public's opinions!

            here is still a long way ahead to make sure European monetary 
policy supports the fight against climate change and for social progress. 
Let’s refuse a world based on carbon emissions and inequality.

            MEPs should boldly engage with the ECB’s to break its climate 
inaction. All this before it is too late. And to do so, they need your 
support:

            Have your say! Fill in the survey to support MEPs’ talks with 
the ECB.
