In light of recent, all-too-familiar developments in Israel-Palestine, the Coordinating Collective (CC) has concluded that DiEM25 can no longer postpone the adoption of an official position on Israel/Palestine. Which is why DiEM25 launched an All-Member Vote on this topic. Results to be announced soon!

What we did in May!

• What Europe Must Now Do, DiEM25’s Progressive European Policy Agenda for the 2020s 
  DiEM25 members have voted for What Europe Must Now Do, DiEM25’s Progressive European Policy Agenda for the 2020s. Our Agenda comprises policies drawn from DiEM25’s comprehensive Green New Deal for Europe as well as policy initiatives honed at the outset of the 2020 pandemic. Check the results here
• People’s Gatherings
  DiEM25 Turkey hosted a Gathering on Culture! You can see the replay here. Belgian DiEMers talked about healthcare and how to make it a fairer and affordable system for everyone! On June 10 at 20:00 CEST, they’ll be tackling foreign policy. Sign up to the event in Dutch, English or French. DiEM25 Romania has been working hard on developing its own national questionnaire! It will be published soon. If you’d like to organise a Gathering tackling Romanian questions, let us know here.
  
• META Launch
  DiEM25 and MeRA25’s Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation was introduced to the public and press, presenting its aims and its activities. Through Research, Art, Argument and Poem, mέta is working for a rupture from our grim present – a feat that presupposes a capacity to perceive and imagine the world anew. The centre is an initiative of MERA25 in partnership with DiEM25 and the Progressive International. To find out more, please visit META’s website, YouTube and Facebook.
• ‘Tell us your story’ campaign
  DiEM Voice and the Green New Deal for Europe launched the “Tell us your story” campaign. We invite you to participate by telling us your story in a short video and expose the real problems you are facing in your life: jobs, housing, healthcare, the prospect of the so-called “green” transition that leaves many citizens in our societies behind, but also environmental pollution and climate problems which are rising exponentially. Read more
