<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>This is urgent: <B>121 people, including 32 children, are stranded at
sea</B>. Malta and Italy, the nearest countries, have refused to let them
dock.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>After 8 days at sea in the sweltering heat, the conditions on the boat
are becoming unbearable. The Spanish organisation, Open Arms, who owns the ship
<B>has issued a desperate call to European leaders to let them dock</B> -
they’re quickly running out of fuel and supplies. </BIG>[1]</P>
<P><BIG>Let’s stand in solidarity with them and show our leaders that Europe’s
arms are open: </BIG></P>

<P><BIG>Europe’s migration system is broken - it has failed to bring justice to
the Mediterranean, leaving it a graveyard for those seeking safety. And when
NGOs and activists have tried to intervene, offering a lifeline to those in
need, they’ve been blocked at every turn. </BIG>[2]</P>
<P><BIG>Just this week, Italy passed a law that threatens captains of rescue
vessels with fines of up to €1 million if they enter ports without permission -
and when it comes to it, permission is hardly granted. </BIG>[3]</P>
<P><BIG>But Europe is more than its leaders - every time politicians fail,
people across this continent stand up and extend their arms.<B> Our solidarity
has brought hundreds of people to safety before, now let’s do it again:</B>

<P><BIG>P.S Right now four Spanish regions – Extremadura, Valencia, the Basque
Country and Catalonia – have offered to receive the migrants. [5] But without a
European-wide call of support, there’s a risk they’ll be ignored. <A
