Ask President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, Prime Minister of the UK Boris Johnson, and other European political leaders, to refuse to recognise the result of the US election until every vote is counted.
Prominent politicians across Europe are already calling the election results, showing disregard for the democratic process and the millions of American people whose votes are yet to be counted. Now is the time for the European Union to take a real stand for democracy, and to clearly say - no election winner will be recognised until every vote is counted.
We call on the political leaders of European democracies to uphold democracy and require every vote be counted before acknowledging a winner in the US presidential election
Voting has ended in the United States, however, millions of votes are yet to be counted.
What happens in the US affects all of us. So today we're joining forces with groups and millions of people across the world, because each of us has a role to play in defending democratic systems and fighting back against voter suppression. Whatever happens in the US, affects the world. As responsible global citizens, we have a vital role to play in upholding democratic systems and fighting back against the rise of authoritarianism.
We know that undemocratic regimes that silence its citizens and voters are disastrous for the climate. For us to build and strengthen our movement for the climate, we need responsive democracies.
The US plays a pivotal role in the climate problem, and solution. If millions of voters voices are disregarded in the US - it will have ripple effects around world democracies, and for the climate movement.
If world governments stand by and refuse to act as votes are being suppressed, it will give legitimacy to the authoritarianism spreading all over the world.
This is why it’s important to push our elected leaders to speak loudly and clearly.
Join this call for Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the UK, and other European political leaders, to refuse to recognise the result of the US election until every vote is counted.
