<P class=p1>Big Tech companies have been left to write their own
rules with devastating consequences -- <STRONG>our privacy invaded,
democracies undermined, communities divided by hate and
lies. </STRONG></P>
<P class=p1>But now the European Union is planning new laws that
could finally rein them in.</P>
<P class=p1>A powerful committee of lawmakers is<STRONG> meeting
tomorrow to vote on key measures in the draft legislation</STRONG>
-- it’s a critical moment that will set the stage for
<STRONG>whether Europe is truly prepared to stand up for People
against Big Tech.</STRONG></P>
<P class=p1>If<STRONG> we send Committee members urgent messages 24
hours before the vote </STRONG>demanding they protect our
rights, not Big Tech profits, they’ll have to pay attention.
<STRONG>Will you take 2 minutes to send them an email?</STRONG></P>

<P class=p1>Groups with a combined membership of over 25 million
people have already come together to support a People’s Declaration
calling on the European Parliament to stand up for citizens against
Big Tech's assault on our fundamental rights. <STRONG>And this is
our first action to make sure they listen!</STRONG></P>
<P class=p1><STRONG>If enough of us send the text of the declaration
to the Committee we can show that there’s a groundswell of support
for action</STRONG> -- that people want technology that serves us,
not corporate interests.</P>
<P class=p1>Big Tech is desperate -- it’s spending millions on
lobbyists to try to water down this legislation. <STRONG>This is our
chance to start an organised pushback. Can you help?</STRONG></P>

<P class=p1>We've had incredible wins over WhatsApp's power grab in
Brazil that are being felt all over the world. And when BigTech CEOs
testified before Congress we were there too with a huge stunt that
was splashed across international media.<STRONG> Our community is
making a difference</STRONG>. This is the fight of the century, and
we have to keep going.</P><IMG alt=""
