<P><BIG>Hi ,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>It wasn’t a hard question to answer: <B>“Would WeMove members chip in to
back activists pushing the Polish government to declare a climate
emergency?”</B> We knew it would be a <B>yes</B> - but we didn’t realise how
much those protests would achieve.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>A few days after the people-powered protests ended, the result was in:
they were a <B>huge success.</B> Politicians from different political
parties spoke up to back the protesters’ demands, and the media was full of
debate on climate change.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Protestors made the most of the opportunity to convince the government
to act. People turned up in their thousands. <STRONG>They even closed down a
major road in Warsaw. </STRONG>Some of Poland’s most influential media rushed to
cover the story of the protests. And WeMove members’ donations helped make it
happen, paying for the things the protestors needed to get the job
done.</BIG></P>

<CENTER><EM>Climate activists in Warsaw</EM></CENTER>
<P><BIG>It’s not an easy time to be a climate activist in Poland. The country
just elected a government that has a bad track record on tackling the climate
threat. So, you can <STRONG>imagine how it felt to the protest organisers to
know that money had poured in from supporters all over Europe.</STRONG> They
might be up against it in Warsaw, but they had backers in countries all over
Europe.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>We can make that happen for climate activists
everywhere.</STRONG> No matter how isolated they might be at home, we can make
sure they know they have supporters ready to step in, all over our
region.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>This is what we’ll do until the end of the year. </STRONG>By
then, European leaders will decide on the European Union's climate ambition for
the next 10 and even 30 years. They will also choose whether we are courageous
enough to recover together from the pandemic in laying the foundations of a
bright, clean and green future.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Politicians might want us to believe that only they can make the big
decisions on our future. But the truth is that <STRONG>nothing happens without
people power: together, we are the ones who can convince our politicians to act,
</STRONG>before the climate crisis gets any worse. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>In solidarity,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>David (London), Olga (Bologna), Jörg (Lübeck) and the WeMove Europe
team</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>PS. <B>With the right resources, we can back protests</B> like the one
in Poland <B>wherever they happen in Europe.</B> But to do that, we have to be
able to plan ahead - and that means resources we can rely on. Are you able to <A

rel=nofollow><B>give a one-off donation to WeMove, so we can keep supporting
activists?</B></A></BIG></P>
