See the results on GNDE Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts!

Gender 1 DSC published articles throughout International Women’s Month.

The movement’s arts and culture platform DiEM Voice held an open call on the theme of Julian Assange and his liberation, which is now closed. The team is reviewing your submissions!

Our Campaign Accelerator project selected three new initiatives; including a campaign to save the cliffs in the Algarve from being privatised, and to save Plečnik Stadium of Ljubljana.

The Rentvolution! campaign led by our members across Europe continues on! This is an urgent matter due to another wave of lockdowns spreading throughout Europe.

Internal Actions

We are creating Provisional National Collectives (PNC) for countries that did not meet the eligibility criteria for National Collective elections. Candidacies for France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey and the Czech Republic are still open, but should happen as fast as possible via volunteer@diem25.org.

We welcome two new DSCs in countries where we haven’t had one: The Vilnius 1 DSC, our first DiEM25 activist group in Lithuania and the Tel Aviv 1 DSC, the first ever established in Israel!

Learn about what DiEM25 members are doing… and how you can get involved. Monthly coordination calls are being organised by the CC with members from all corners of Europe! During these calls we focus on the two big pan-European initiatives of the CC, namely the Campaign Accelerator and the Peoples’ Gatherings.

Here is the schedule for the calls, we hope to see you in one of them, soon (please keep the days in mind, as these calls will recur first and second Wednesday of each month, using the same link): Register for your call through our calendar!

Our Green New Deal for Europe team has established regular bi-weekly meetings, every other Thursday at 6PM CET. Join our next one!
