We are building a people-centred Europe with cooperatives.
Will you be part of it?
This May European citizens will determine the direction the European Union will take by voting in the Elections of the new European Parliament.






By the people, for the people
Inspiring change in Europe and beyond, with cooperatives.
Cooperative enterprises and their values inspire change in the lives of the citizens, communities and the way we imagine our future. Like cooperatives, Europe must be built by the people, for the people.
It is now up to you, the citizens, to vote in a Parliament that will put its people first, and for you, the candidates to give cooperative enterprises ground for the next four years to change the course towards a more democratic, sustainable, fair and value driven Europe.
We invite you to discover how #CoopsInspireChange, why vote for a CoopSupporter, how to become one and build a Europe where everyone has a say.

I support cooperatives because of their history and current practice in working for good jobs with decent pay for both their own workers and workers in their supply chain, and because as businesses with a social purpose they are committed to achieving social justice in their communities.
