| Description |
We Are a Welcoming Europe is the first European Citizens’ Initiative on migration. Through this direct democracy tool, a million signatures from European citizens can compel the EU to change its migration policies and reclaim our right to help migrants and refugees. Thanks to the campaign’s advocacy, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on guidelines for Member States to prevent humanitarian assistance from being criminalised on 5 July 2018.
Hundreds of organisations across Europe joined the campaign’s coalition to empower a welcoming Europe and support citizens and NGOs that are criminalised for offering humanitarian assistance to refugees and migrants.
