Europe’s next generation is taking a stand against populism and nationalism
New campaign The European Moment joins pro-European demo
Brand new campaign The European Moment is joining the March for Europe on 25 March 2017 in Berlin. For the very first time, different pro-European groups are coming together to speak up for European unity and take a clear stand against nationalism. The list of organisations taking part keeps on growing and so far includes: the Young European Movement Berlin-Brandenburg (JEB), the Europa-Union Berlin (EUB), March for Europe Berlin, the Association des Etats Généraux des Etudiants de l’Europe (AEGEE), Stand Up for Europe, as well as European Studies students from the FU Berlin. It’s also a chance for us to support the March for Europe in Rome, which is taking place at the same time as the meeting of European heads of state and government, as well as other similar demos in cities all over Europe.
The march will start on 25 May 2017 at 12pm at Bebelplatz in Berlin and will finish with a demo in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
What’s behind The European Moment: In early 2017, young people from all over Germany came together and launched a platform for pro-Europeans. We are open to everyone who recognises the value of a peaceful and united Europe. Now more than ever, we want to stand up passionately for the European project, countering populism and nationalism with a constructive voice that isn’t afraid to speak out about critical issues.
Together, we’re standing up for a diverse and open-minded Europe:
…based on democracy and the rule of law.
…where we live side by side, bound by solidarity.
…guided by the political principles of sustainability and fairness.
…where shared problems are solved by working together.
Now is the Moment to uphold these values. It’s up to us!
The 25 March will mark the first of our monthly demos in Berlin.
