<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>In November, pseudo-scientist climate deniers were invited to an
official press conference by some MEPs</B> to promote the following message:
“there is no climate emergency.” [1] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>In the same week, after intensive fundraising and planning, we
managed to *crash* the European Parliament</B> together with youth activists,
staging a dramatic die-in just to make sure our leaders would hear our message:
“do something about the climate emergency - NOW”. [2]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>What’s wrong with this picture?</B> Pseudo-scientist climate deniers
are being invited to spread false messages while those of us fighting for our
future need to show up uninvited and resort to last-minute protests just to get
a seat at the table.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>We know it’s not always easy to make sure we’re heard, especially
when well-funded multinational industry lobbies are fighting to do the same.</B>
But we also know that the European Parliament elected last May is made up of
mostly new MEPs (61% of the 751 MEPs are new). [3] They are just now
starting to determine who they will listen to over the next five years of their
mandate, which is why we are constantly building new ways to reach our elected
representatives. </BIG></P>
<CENTER><BIG><B>Will you donate just a few cents per MEP each month</B> <B>–
</B>to supercharge the ways our community can reach our representatives in this
crucial phase?</BIG></CENTER>

<P><BR><BIG><B>If everyone in our community donates just a few cents for every
MEP each month, we’d have the resources our community needs to reach MEPs with
the messages that matter most,</B> and make sure that citizens’ voices are heard
over industries’. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Together our community has already worked tirelessly to reach our MEPs.
We’ve developed the online tools we need to bring our messages directly to our
representatives, and <B>we’ve used these tools in the most important moments for
European democracy. And by doing so we’ve made big waves in the European
Parliament! Just in the last year:</B></BIG></P>
<UL>
<LI><BIG><B>MEPs voted to ban some single-use plastics and make plastic
polluters pay</B> following actions and advocacy from a wide coalition of
civil society partners. Our community alone sent almost 100,000 emails to our
MEPs! [4]</BIG>
<LI><BIG><B>MEPs voted to overhaul the rules on transparency for potentially
toxic pesticides, additives, and other food products</B> after the successful
European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) our community coordinated. [5] When some
MEPs threatened to water-down the legislation, our community sent thousands of
tweets and over half-a-million emails to MEPs. The lead MEP for the new law
even resigned when she couldn’t get MEPs to support her negative changes!
[6]</BIG>
<LI><BIG><B>MEPs even voted to increase transparency of their own offices</B>
as a result of a campaign run by civil society, progressive MEPs, and our
WeMove Europe, during which our community sent thousands of tweets directly to
key MEPs involved! [7]</BIG> </LI></UL>
<P><BIG>The work we have done together to connect people with their MEPs via
email and social media has been made possible by the generosity of this
community. <B>But now, this new European Parliament will be around for 5 years
and along the way we need to keep working on new ways to reach them</B> – from
phone calls to on-the-ground actions and community delegations to MEP offices.
</BIG></P>
<CENTER><BIG><B>Will you donate <I>just a few cents per MEP – every
month</I></B> – to supercharge the ways our community can reach our
representatives in this crucial phase?</BIG></CENTER>
