WeMove.EU is a citizens’ movement, campaigning for a better Europe; for a European Union committed to social and economic justice, environmental sustainability and citizen-led democracy. We are people from all walks of life, who call Europe our home – whether we were born in Europe or elsewhere. (From our mission statement).
We are a recently launched, European online campaigning organisation in the spirit of the amazing work done by our friends at Campact.de in Germany and 38Degrees.org.uk in the UK.
Our idea is to respond to the crisis of European democracy with creative online campaigning. Having launched in September 2015 with great success (more than 320 000 members so far), we are now focused on continuing our fast growth – and we are looking for experienced Fundraiser to join our team.
You would be joining a team of 11 dedicated activists located all over Europe: France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Poland, the UK and Slovenia.
WeMove.EU is working towards being member-funded by 2019, and we already have thousands of small donors supporting our work. But while we are still in the start-up period, we are funded by our partners (especially Campact.de), individual philanthropists and foundations.
More information about our project can be found on http://wemove.eu/wemove.pdf.
