<P><BIG>Hi, </BIG></P>
<P><BIG></BIG><BIG>Last week I witnessed a truly historic moment. Climate youth
took over the busiest hall of the European Parliament with a sit in, causing
quite a stir! They made their statement loud and proud to the politicians
working there: <B><EM>“Vote for my future. Vote for a new European Commission
that properly champions climate justice now”</EM></B>. There were lots of
cameras and the unprecedented situation even made the security antsy. But the
youth wouldn’t budge.[1]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>All of a sudden, Iratxe Garcia Perez turned up. She’s the leader of the
Socialists & Democrats, the second largest group in Parliament, and directly
involved in negotiations over the future European Commission. <B>She kicked off
a meeting with the climate youth there and then</B>. And so they occupied the
main hall of the European Parliament, just like occupying the plazas!</BIG></P>

<P><EM>Engaged debate in the European Parliament</EM></P></CENTER>
<P><BIG><B>This kind of loud, energetic but ultimately peaceful disruptive
action on climate has never happened in the Parliament</B>. It was politically
very important for climate youth to meet this EU leader. And guess what? Just
minutes before, she had seen the WeMove Europe Twitter action that reached out
to everybody in the Parliament!</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>WeMove Europe is here to connect and boost the power you
have combined with mine and that of thousands of others across Europe.
<B>We come together, at the right time, and direct our voice towards the right
people</B>. We use the tools we have at hand, a smartphone, or computer, and 2
minutes of our time, to have maximum impact.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Seeing the outcome of our tweets (and more) come together in front of
my eyes in the European Parliament was truly inspirational</B>. It is thanks to
a growing number of us contributing whatever amount they can afford every month.
(On average a lot of us donate 15 euro monthly.) Can you chip in and amplify
voices for the climate with us?</BIG></P>

<P><BIG>This is only one important example of where Twitter helped us to deliver
our message to EU leaders. <B>We are always thinking about how we can bring your
voice to decision makers</B>. Twitter is widely used by politicians, journalists
and activist organisations in Brussels. So from time to time, particularly when
we know a last minute action could work to change things, we use
Twitter.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>If you don’t have a Twitter account, you still are able to search
hashtags like #VoteForMyFuture or the address of a person like @vonderleyen
(President-elect of the European Commission) and watch what’s going on. <B>We
also rely on you to forward our call to action to as many people as you can</B>.
This is often the best way to help.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>I’m really grateful to have been there in Brussels for this event, and
to be able to share it with you.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Sincerely,</BIG></P>
