Sign the Brussels Declaration today.
As the 50th anniversary of the creation of the European Union approaches, the principles and values on which modern Europe was founded are once again under threat. Recent events have thrown into sharp focus the divisions that exist between those who share our liberal, humanitarian values and those who seek to create a more authoritarian society, or would use our culture of tolerance to promote intolerance and undermine democracy.
Unless we stand firm and defend our values now, fundamentalism and authoritarianism will once again ride roughshod over our rights.
