Europe Must Act: The Spirit of Europe
A €10,000 human rights appeal for 2022

From the Greek Aegean islands and the borders of Poland to the cold and treacherous British Channel, human rights are under attack.

Be part of Europe Must Act’s 2022 campaign to protect fundamental rights, strengthen European solidarity and build welcoming communities.

Donate today and help us reach our €10,000 target.


Less than 2 years ago, we launched a movement run by volunteers on the Greek Aegean Islands. 

Since then, Europe Must Act has grown into a movement of activists across Europe, campaigning in support of humane migration policies and the rights of people seeking sanctuary. We’ve established dozens of #CitiesMustAct chapters, connected activists within displaced communities directly with politicians, and built links with like-minded grassroots groups across Europe.

But this is only the beginning - in 2022 we’re determined to make our movement even stronger. 

We believe in the power of collective action to show that a humane and welcoming alternative is possible. And we know that people across Europe are horrified by the human rights abuses occurring on our borders in Greece, Poland, France and beyond. That’s why, on this Human Rights Day, we’re launching an appeal to make sure we can hit the ground running in 2022.

By donating to our €10,000 target you will help us to:

  1. Develop our Raising Voices programme, working with activists from displaced communities who want to share their own stories and campaign for change

  2. Support our existing #CitiesMustAct network and set up new chapters in more European countries

  3. Provide monthly training to EMA supporters, equipping them with the tools to campaign in their communities and engage with politicians

For too long, Europe’s migration policies have prioritised protecting borders above protecting human rights. But we know that all over Europe communities are ready to welcome people seeking sanctuary. Please donate today and be a part of our campaign to mobilise this broad support and convince politicians to take humane action.

Donate today!
