Like the climate crisis, as well as the many others we face, the COVID-19 pandemic affects everyone but hits some harder than others. It has shone a very bright light on the inequalities in our societies.<\/p>\n\n<p>We are diverse civil society organisations representing human rights, civil liberties, development, environment, anti-poverty, anti-racism and other sectors, and trade unions, with a shared vision of the future. We call on the European institutions to seize this moment to work towards the fundamental changes in our society, economy and governance needed to protect us all and ensure the EU becomes resilient. We enclose a statement and our shared demands on how to start that much needed change.<\/p>\n\n<p>We are committed to working towards a shared vision of the future of Europe, one that is based on a socially just, feminist, sustainable, democratic and inclusive society. We believe the Commission must respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in ways that put us on a path to achieve that vision.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-eu-unit-stateless\/2020\/04\/20200422-letter-to-president-Von-der-Leyen-Europe-that-cares-for-all-COVID-19.pdf\">Read the attached statement here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Signatories:<\/p>\n\n<p>350.org<br>ACT Alliance EU<br>ActionAid International<br>Albanian Center for Population and Development (ACPD)<br>All Together in Dignity (ATD) Ireland<br>Amnesty International<br>Asociaci\u00f3n Caminos<br>ATD Fourth World<br>CATRO Bulgaria<br>CEE Bankwatch Network<br>CIDSE<br>Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe<br>CONCORD Europe<br>Coordinadora de ONGD-Espa\u00f1a<br>Czechia Against Poverty and Inequality<br>Defend Democracy<br>End FGM European Network<br>Eurodiaconia<br>European Civic Forum<br>European Consortium for Emergency Contraception<br>European Disability Forum<br>European Environmental Bureau (EEB)<br>European Movement International<br>European Network Against Racism (ENAR)<br>European Oncology Nursing Society<br>European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC)<br>European Women\u2019s Lobby<br>European Youth Forum<br>Fair Trade Advocacy Office<br>Federaci\u00f3n de Planificaci\u00f3n Familiar de Espa\u00f1a<br>Friends of the Earth Europe<br>Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP)<br>Greenpeace<br>Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL)<br>International Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR)<br>International Planned Parenthood Federation, European Network<br>Know and Can Association<br>Le Planning Familial<br>Lithuanian NGDO Platform<br>Mighty Earth<br>Naturefriends International (NFI)<br>Open Society European Policy Initiative<br>\u00d6sterreichische Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Familienplanung (\u00d6GF)<br>P&amp;D Factor &#8211; Ass.
