Dear supporters of WeAreInThisTogether!

It is so great that we are already nearly 15.000 who have signed our Italian-German call for European solidarity! Thank you that you have supported our appeal. This shows that reason and humanity is much stronger than many want to make us believe. We neither believe those who plead for short sighted financial egoism in Germany nor in the populist claim that Europe is the reason for evils in Italy. In the end we will all be better off if we get through this crisis together!

Therefore, we ask you: Spread the word by calling on your friends and followers on social media and via email to co-sign the appeal. Let them know that you signed and ask them to join you by spreading the link to our website:

www.weareinthistogether.eu

Our call for common health bonds has found a lot of support in the media. This shows: the effort is worth it!
Next week the Eurogroup and the European Council will hopefully take first decisions. We will inform you about this soon.

With warm european greetings,

Alexandra Geese, Franziska Brantner & Sven Giegold
