| Hi. I'm Jess, the new CEO of the Democratic Party. I'm excited to be joining Tom, the rest of the team at DNC HQ, and all of our amazing supporters like you to rebuild our party from the grassroots up -- because I've seen the power of grassroots movements in action.I got my start in politics helping elect Democrats in Colorado, Illinois, and my home state of Arizona, where we turned Arizona's 1st congressional district from red to blue. We did it because we got organized in our communities and went block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, to get the word out about what we believed in and turn out our voters to the polls on Election Day.At EMILY's List, where I've been helping elect Democratic women for the past four years, I saw how we can do that same kind of grassroots organizing on a national scale. That's how we elected the most diverse Congress in history, including quadrupling the number of Democratic women of color in the Senate.If we organize in every zip code, we can elect Democrats from school board to Senate in every corner of this country. I know, as Tom does, that we can do it -- but it's going to take all of us working together to get our party back in fighting form.So first thing's first: I want to hear from you. Let me know your thoughts and how our party can be more effective in your community so we can elect Democrats at every level and every state: Thanks so much for being a part of our party. Supporters like you are what powers our candidates to victory, and you've already shown such an unprecedented level of activism and enthusiasm over the past few months. I'm ready to jump in -- let's get to it. Jess |

Manuel Blanco, Enrique Rodríguez and Julio Latorre are Spanish firemen. Over a year ago, they moved to the Greek island of Lesbos to become volunteers for NGO PROEMAID (Professional Emergency Aid) and put their professional lifesaving experience to a noble cause: saving children, women, and men, escaping war and poverty from drowning. They could now face 10 years in jail, because a little known law lets EU countries criminalise ordinary citizens who help refugees. And the EU Commissioner responsible, Dimitris Avramopoulos, is refusing to change this law. The reason? According to him, this isn't a big enough problem. More than 130,000 WeMove.EU members have already signed a petition demanding that humanitarian workers be free from criminal charges for the work they do. Let's add our names now, to show the EU Commissioner that he's wrong!Add my name in defense of Julio, Manuel, Enrique and other rescue workers doing lifesaving work. These men risked their lives to help thousands of people, but their lifesaving actions were seen by the Greek government as human smuggling. And now, highly respected NGOs like Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and Save the Children are being accused of “encouraging human traffickers” with their life-saving search and rescue work in the mediterranean. Currently, if you help a drowning child out of the sea without the proper documents, you could be facing criminal charges for human smuggling. This is exactly what happened to Julio, Manuel and Enrique. These everyday firefighters are now in the middle of a legal battle where they risk being put in prison for 10 years for their lifesaving efforts. WeMove.EU campaigns for a European Union committed to social and economic justice, environmental sustainability and citizen-led democracy. They're leading this campaign together with Social Platform and PROEMAID. Make no mistake -- the EU's false "security" approach to the migration crisis is a gift to the corporations who profit from building fortress Europe's policing, surveillance and detention infrastructure. We're campaigning on that too. But right now, let's stand with these other NGOs and movements to oppose the EU criminalising rescue workers and volunteers. Please sign and share this important petition on WeMove.EU's website.
Thanks for all that you do,
Thanks for all that you do,
