Together for democracy: Vote in 2024!

Why should you vote in the 2024 European Elections?

The European Parliament is where people from all over the European Union gather to discuss and decide on important issues that have an impact on everyone’s lives. Citizens play a crucial role in this process. Democracy starts with us, the people. We kick things off by voting in European Parliament elections, and the decisions made there affect our lives. If we do not participate, we do not get to shape the future; but beyond that, Parliament loses its strength and its values lose their meaning. 

So, why should YOU vote? 

Firstly, it is your way of influencing the future of Europe. Many of the rules that affect us, such as policies on immigration, COVID-19 or climate change, are set at EU level. Secondly, using your vote safeguards democracy itself. Democracy has not had a particularly smooth ride lately, either in Europe or elsewhere around the world. It is our responsibility to keep it alive, not just in Europe but everywhere. Voting is a key part of this, but it is not the whole story. It is also about staying informed, making your voice heard in various ways, and raising awareness about issues that matter to us and for our future. The freedom to do all this is a precious part of democracy, and it is in our best interest to protect it.

Together, we are working to amplify democracy’s core values. Join us, and you will connect with like-minded people, enhance your skills, engage with decision-makers, and access valuable resources to promote democracy and the 2024 European elections.
