*[Enwl-eng] Honour every vote

The US election is contested, a peaceful transfer of power and democracy itself are at risk. But we’re not just helpless observers – we have some power here. If our leaders make it clear they won’t let US democracy be torn down, this crisis could be averted. |
Hi,
The result is contested, and votes are still being counted in the election that will decide the next American President. There's so much at stake, Vladimir, even for us.
Anti-democratic forces in the EU are already making moves. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša both endorsed Trump well before the election, signaling their willingness to interfere. [1] What we really need now is for our leaders to help stop this crisis - by refusing to recognise any winner until all the votes are counted.
Many leaders will only take a public stand if they know their voters are behind them – that’s why we need to act quickly, and with a massive show of force. Will you sign the global petition calling on our leaders not to recognise a winner of the US election until all the votes are counted?
|
From addressing climate change to peace and stability in the world to the fight for racial justice, the United States has a key role to play in the global community. And the next four years will be vital on all these fronts. If American democracy is threatened now, global progress on all of these issues that we've spent years fighting for could be rolled back.
But if Europeans stand up now, we can get our leaders to publicly state that they won’t recognise any candidate until all the votes are counted. By standing up now, we also show far-right politicians here at home that we Europe and Europeans will stand up for democracy, wherever it’s threatened.
Across the world, movements like ours - from Canada to Europe - are rising to the same challenge. So, will you join the call to defend democracy, and help make sure it is as loud in your country as it is elsewhere in Europe and across the world?
|
People around the world are rising up to stand in solidarity with American voters. Together, we can be part of a global movement to remind all leaders, wherever they are, that people’s votes and voices are their power.
With hope,
David (London), Mika (Bordeaux), Laura (Brussels), and the
entire WeMove Europe team
