Can businesses move the needle when it comes to voter turnout? 🗳️📈 In 2024, 4 billion people will be heading to the polls worldwide. The European Parliamentary Elections are just around the corner, but citizen participation is notoriously low. 🇪🇺 We believe businesses can use their voice to engage their audiences, clients, users, consumers, and employees on the importance of acting beyond economic purpose and protecting our democracies. 📣 That's why, together with GOPA Com., The Club of Rome, and Civocracy 📢 , we're launching a nonpartisan, pro-democratic campaign to unite businesses across Europe to put aside our differences to increase the 2024 European Parliamentary Elections awareness and turnout.
