Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Europe Must Act’s advocacy and lobbying work at the European level focusses on voluntary solidarity within the EU's New Pact on Asylum (2024). We, as local citizens, lobby politicians to uphold the fundamental rights and freedoms of people on the move.
Communication Activities: EMA and its activists and chapters across Europe have engaged in a variety of diverse actions aimed at both raising awareness about the current situation as well as influencing local, national and European decision-making processes. EMA’s latest campaign is focused on raising awareness among local authorities of the opportunities represented by migration and the existing tools for cities to relocate people on the move from border areas to their territories. The goal is to increase the number of town and cities who are part of the International Alliance of Safe Harbours, a European network of welcoming cities. Other actions include conferences, debates and internal trainings.
