<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>A quarter of jobs in the EU are at risk, and nearly a million jobs have
been lost just in Spain due to the pandemic. [1] This is only a hint of the
tragedy still to come - already here for so many of us unable to afford basics
such as accommodation. [2]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>As the European Commission puts together a recovery plan, polluting
industries (like airlines and coal-burning power plants) are elbowing their way
to the front of the queue to get support</B> - thanks to their enormous lobbying
power. They want the biggest piece of the pie… and to use this crisis to weaken
environmental standards. [3]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>This recovery plan is being negotiated right now. Let’s make it clear it
<B>must prioritise the tragedies of people before those of airlines, car,
plastic, and other polluting industries. </B>The economic recovery cannot
be at the expense of more pollution: pollution makes coronavirus deadlier. [4]
</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>We are part of a large coalition</B> working on getting the message
to politicians in different ways before the key EU meeting on Wednesday. But for
this movement <B>to have an impact, it needs to have thousands of Europeans
standing behind it. That's us!</B></BIG></P>

<P><BIG>The <EM>Marshall Plan</EM>-like scheme [5] to face the economic crisis
cannot replicate the mistakes of the bailouts following the 2008 financial
crisis: banks and corporations shouldn’t be saved at the expense of workers,
people and the planet. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>This time it's different.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Just before coronavirus hit the world, <B>the European Commission was in
the midst of putting together a European Green Deal:</B> a package of measures
to guide Europe’s transition into a just and green economy.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>The current economic downturn that will soon deepen demonstrates the
profound need for such a package. In fact, 17 EU countries including Spain,
Germany, France, Italy, and Portugal are already pushing the Commission to base
the recovery plan on the Green Deal! [6] But <B>this master plan needs to be not
only fully executed, but also boosted and expanded.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>If we don’t take action the Commission will only hear from polluting
industries in the battle between EU governments on whether to keep the Green
Deal or not. <B>They need to hear from citizens too:</B> the Green Deal is the
starting point, but it’s far from enough.</BIG></P>

been taught by experienced organisations like Greenpeace and many others. It was
them that knocked at the door of our community because, in these critical times,
it’s the voices of citizens that are missing from what is probably the most
crucial plan of our lives. Make the voice of people present in the recovery plan
