European Alternatives has released a new publication in cooperation with the London School of Economics, “The Rise of Insurgent Europeanism”.

The project is coordinated by European Alternatives, the Citizens Take Over Europe coalition, and their member’s network which brings together more than 50 civil society organisations from across Europe to prepare for and engage with the Conference on the Future of Europe.

We are writing to you at the outset of what we hope will be a historical semester of the European Union. The EU is at a crossroads in its history: the need for the European Union to transform into a social, sustainable, democratic, and citizen-led project is greater than ever before. This is why we, citizens and civil society organisations from across Europe, are calling on you to make true the promise of the proposed Conference on the Future of Europe to guide the EU out of the many crises with which it is confronted.

For a transparent and participatory citizens-centered Conference on the Future of Europe

In a world in which democracy increasingly seems fragile, the citizens and civil society of Belarus are reminding us of the importance of standing up to defend and expand democratic rights. Their struggle is our struggle and an inspiration to us all.

The Citizens Take Over Europe coalition (CTOE) invites citizens and civil society organisations to discuss the political urgency for the future of Europe, starting from the Recovery Fund and the reforms that the European Union needs to make through a European Citizens Assembly.
