*[Enwl-eng] This movement is strong
ENWLine
Months ago we set ourselves an ambitious goal – to build partnerships with hundreds of organisations, and together plan a massive day of events for a new kind of politics for Europe.
This past Sunday, we blew past our own expectations! Hundreds of thousands of people – from Leipzig to Stockholm to Bucharest – marched (and danced!) to say no to hate and division, and to inspire people to vote for hope in the EU election this week.
For those of you who were able to join us, you know no image could truly capture the powerful and diverse beauty of Sunday’s events. But here’s a video to give you a glimpse! Once you’ve watched it, share it on social media and remind your family and friends that the EU election starts in just a few days. People are more likely to vote if they see that people they know are also voting!

EU election events across Europe
Today marks a new beginning for our movement and what we can achieve when Europeans come together. Over the next few days let’s keep using our collective energy to inspire more and more people to choose hope, and take part in this crucial EU election.
Thank you,
Olga (Bologna), Jörg (Lübeck), Virginia (Madrid), and the rest of us at WeMove.EU
P.S. This is the first time WeMove has ever attempted to go this big, and we wouldn’t have been able to undertake this huge plan without all the organisations that worked for months to make these beautiful events happen. Special thanks to Campact, Akcja Demokracja, Aufstehn, De Goede Zaak, Le Mouvement, aHang, DeClic, Skiftet, Genova che Osa, Nyt Europa and Friends of Nature Bulgaria.
