 Dear friends, This is an emergency: the far right could WIN the European elections!They want to rip up global climate agreements, send home migrants, and take a wrecking ball to our environment. If they can, they'll tear down everything we stand for! But there's a way we can stop it. If they win, it won't be because most people support them, but because most people don't vote in EU elections. Just a small increase in turnout could transform the results -- and with members in every single EU country, our movement can make it happen. If we can raise enough from this email, Avaaz will launch a MASSIVE campaign to get people to vote in key countries across Europe, reaching millions of citizens with videos, ads, actions, and rallies with a single simple message: vote to stop the hate. An Avaaz team is ready to start right now, and our ads can reach up to 1,000 voters for just the cost of a coffee! But we can only win this if we are fast -- elections are in less than two weeks! Chip in now to save Europe from a far-right takeover: All over the world, nationalists are cheating their way to power -- they know most people simply don't agree with them, so they use sophisticated online disinformation to rile up their base while discouraging others from voting. That's why their biggest fear is turnout! Now they're coming for our last great beacon of hope -- Europe. Whether we live there or not, we've all felt its impact -- from promoting women's rights to protecting the environment, the EU has been a major force for good in our world. If it falls to hate, our fight for a better future gets much, much tougher. We can still save it. Political campaigns spend millions on last-minute ads calling people to vote for good reason -- it works! If we raise enough, we'll make this the main priority for the Avaaz team and task a slew of creatives and videographers to produce light-shining content, flooding key countries in the days before the election to get as many people as possible to the polls to defend our democracy.Only our movement has the reach to pull this off! If we don't do it, it won't happen. Chip in now to power this movement against hate, and let's get everyone to vote to save Europe from the far right -- before it's too late: We can't tackle the massive threats we face, from climate change to war, if our best institutions are taken over by those who want to divide us. Our movement was made to fight for our democracies and the future we dream of -- now is our time to rise, like never before.In hope and determination,Bert, Ricken, Christoph, Luis, Camille, Joseph, Marigona, Rosa and the rest of the Avaaz teamPS: Countries across Europe have important and complex rules on how we can engage in election campaigning -- and they are there for good reason. We don't expect the far right to play by the rules, but we will!
