The generous support of more than 400 donors to the crowdfunding campaign in November also helped us significantly raise the online profile of the ECI in the last months. The results were, however, not what we had hoped, so we decided not to spend the total budget online. Instead we dedicated the remaining approximately 15,000 euros to the organisation of our movement's next steps, particularly to allow organisers to meet each other face to face.</p> <p class="p1" style="color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  </p> <p class="p2" style="color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> As we said all along,<strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>the ECI was only the first phase in building a European movement</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>for unconditional basic income. Even before the end of the ECI, organisers agreed that we should carry on together after the 14 January deadline. We decided to form a pan-European alliance for the implementation of UBI everywhere in Europe, and its recognition as a universal human right.</p> <p class="p2" style="color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">  </p> <p class="p2" style="color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <span style="line-height: 1.6em;">At a meeting in Brussels 17 February, people who actively promoted the ECI in 18 countries, with support of those from seven other countries who could not attend, agreed to form <strong>Unconditional Basic Income Europe</strong> (UBIE) to take things forward.

<p> Dear basic income friends,</p> <p>  </p> <p> did you know that we also have supporters who are not part of the European Union, where our initiative is based? <strong>We have Norwegians, the Swiss, Canadians and U.S. citizens.</strong> We are so glad that people outside the EU have recognized that OUR FIGHT is THEIR FIGHT, too.</p> <p>  </p> <p> So, if you have friends anywhere in the world who support basic income, let them know that people within our initiative want to see basic income implemented in the whole world one day. We just had to start from somewhere, so we started at home, where there was an opportunity via a European citizens' initiative to start spreading the news about basic income.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>TODAY'S CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN STATS (SATURDAY, 9th November 2013)</strong></p> <p> 16,399 EUR donated (that's 109% of the goal!)</p> <p> 293 supporters</p> <p> 11 days still left in the campaign</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>WE'RE STILL OPEN FOR DONATIONS</strong></p> <p> Please share this link to your friends and family and tell them to consider a small donation for our cause: <a href="http://funding.basicincome2013.eu/" target="_blank">http://funding.basicincome2013.eu/</a> -> this link redirects to the crowdfunding page in English.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>WHERE CAN PEOPLE SIGN THE EUROPEAN CITIZENS' INITIATIVE FOR BASIC INCOME?</strong></p> <p> We're doing this crowdfunding thingy so we could collect a million signatures, and here's where you can point your friends who are completely new to basic income: <a href="http://sign.basicincome2013.eu/" target="_blank">http://sign.basicincome2013.eu/</a> -> every online signature is a personal vote against poverty and negative consequences of un(der)employment.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>FOLLOW OUR UPDATES, INTERESTING NEWS AND LINKS ON OUR FACEBOOK AND TWITTER</strong></p> <p> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ECI.BasicIncome" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/ECI.BasicIncome</a></p> <p> <a href="https://twitter.com/basicincomeEU" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/basicincomeEU</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> Thank you for your ongoing support!</p>

<p> <img alt="Crowdfunding-goal-reached-en" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/48718/crowdfunding-goal-reached-en.jpg" /></p> <p>  </p> <p class="p1"> Wow... that was fast!</p> <p class="p2">  </p> <p class="p3"> We've just reached our target of 15,000€, thanks to the generosity of more than 240 people - not only from Europe but around the world. We knew you would help us, but speed of your response went far beyond our expectations. Many thanks to all who donated and helped promote this campaign!</p> <p class="p4">  </p> <p class="p3"> Now that we've secured our target amount, we can start work on how to implement the ECI promotion plan. This will save time and allow us to concentrate our efforts on the most important thing: converting this money into awareness and signatures.</p> <p class="p4">  </p> <p class="p3"> <b>You can still donate!</b></p> <p class="p4">  </p> <p class="p4">  </p> <p class="p3"> Even though we've reached the original goal, this crowdfunding campaign will carry on until the deadline set at the start:<b>6pm Wednesday November 20th</b>. Any extra money will be invested in the European basic income movement. If we reach 25,000€, this would enable us to produce audiovisual material to help build this movement over the longer term, throughout Europe and beyond.</p>
