EU SIGN DAY is a self-organised initiative climaxing on the 9th of May 2021 that aims to inform as many European Citizens as possible about their right to shape the future of Europe with one (or more signatures) on the European Citizens Initiative.

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, as Europeans, will not passively witness again in the future the dismantling of our Union because of intergovernmental logic and internal conflicts. The EU’s democratic deficit undermines not only its legitimacy but also the capacity of EU member states to tackle today’s challenges. We call for an ambitious institutional reform to reshape the Europe of tomorrow.

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
