Stop the austerity plan!

Tell Members of the European Parliament that voting for the new austerity plan is a threat to hard working families, our quality of life and our precious planet. Send MEPs an email now.

We still remember how healthcare workers, teachers and other public sector workers stood on the line during the lockdowns. They got us through the pandemic - and we all valued that.

But now EU decision-makers are planning to cut back on these invaluable services. Their proposed new fiscal rules will introduce an austerity plan that will hit us harder than ever before, with irreversible effects on the planet and our societies. We can’t allow them to destroy our future. We need to stop this.

Because we all know that our economy thrives on the hard workers in the public sector. Without them, we would have no child care, no fire protection, no schools and no healthcare. Only when we all do well, our economy does well.

We all know austerity is a failure...

1. It destroys our public services and our essential workers such as nurses, teachers, firemen, etc.

2. It leaves future generations without hope while still allowing multinationals to become too big to fail.

3. It makes it impossible to invest in a green transition that leaves no one behind and protects us from the climate emergency.

Despite calls from trade unions, civil society organisations and economists for the austerity plan to be cancelled, many politicians are not listening. All they propose is going back to an economy where healthcare workers, teachers and our public services are underfunded, with crucial investments forever delayed. This is the recipe for an economy with job cuts, lower wages, worse working conditions and no vision for the future. . We cant let the pillars of our society be destroyed.

...that is why we need a system-change.

Instead, we need an economy for the future. This means choosing investment over austerity.

1. We need to ensure that governments can invest in what really matters in our societies. Cutting budgets is not a way to achieve the future we deserve and need.

2. We need an economy driven by a vision for the future, not enslaved to the rules of the past.

3. We need an economy where budgets are used for the common good and not to make private profits bigger.

If MEPs take the protection of our economy seriously, if they want to ensure a fair future for all, they need to stand up for us and vote against the new fiscal rules to reject austerity!

This is our last chance.

Tell your MEPs they can make things right. Tell them there is still time to stop this. Ask them to vote the new austerity plan down.
