editWeMove Europe is an independent and values-based organization that advocates for strengthening the influence of civil society in Europe. With a community of over 700,000 active members from all walks of life and countries in the EU, WeMove works to transform Europe on behalf of the community, future generations, and the planet.
Main Mission and Values
editThe mission of WeMove Europe is based on the values of equality, sustainability, and democracy. The organization criticizes the existing political system, which has served the elite and profit for too long, and advocates for an EU that prioritizes human dignity, human rights, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, and solidarity[2][3].
Campaigns and Activities
editWeMove Europe conducts various campaigns that focus on the most important issues of our time, such as climate change, human rights, working conditions, and environmental protection. These campaigns address the root causes of problems and aim for long-term change rather than just combating symptoms. Through online and offline actions, Europe-wide mobilization, and collaboration with partner organizations and movements, WeMove strives for effective and sustainable successes[2][3].
Funding and Structure
editWeMove Europe is primarily funded by small, regular donations from thousands of people across Europe. In 2022, 89% of the revenue came from these donations, while another 11% came from progressive foundations and partners. The organization is registered as a European Cooperative (SCE) in Germany, allowing it to operate across national borders[1].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editWeMove Europe is engaged in numerous sustainability initiatives, including the protection of biodiversity, the fight against climate change, and the promotion of social justice. For example, the organization advocates for a ban on harmful pesticides, the protection of endangered species, and the introduction of free, healthy school meals across the EU. Through its actions and campaigns, WeMove aims to create a better future for all Europeans and the planet[2][3].
Community and Collaboration
editThe strength of WeMove Europe lies in its strong community and collaboration with various partner organizations and movements. By involving people from diverse backgrounds and fostering cross-border European solidarity, WeMove Europe can exert political influence in Brussels and beyond, bringing about effective change[2][3].
