Since March 2020, the avenue Van Vollenhoven in Schaerbeek is car-free. The decision was motivated by the need for social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis. For eight months, the inhabitants of Schaerbeek took great advantage of the space. Children learned to ride bicycles and skate. Older people could walk around and enjoy social life at a safe distance. PRMs and cyclists could safely cross the park to the other side of Schaerbeek....

To Tim Cook and the Apple executive team, We, current and former workers at Apple, write to express our profound dismay and disappointment at Apple’s response to the events taking place in Minneapolis and cities across the US, and our leadership’s continued collaboration with the Trump administration: Tim Cook has personally donated $1 million[1] to Trump’s inauguration fund and presented him with a 24k gold plaque[2], which directly flouts Apple’s corporate gifting and bribery policies....
Read moreDeclaration of reasonable demands to the University and SU: Generative AI images
Recent events regarding the social media site X: have demonstrated the need to take far greater and meaningful public stances regarding generative AI and its use particularly for images. The recent news of how X’s AI ‘assistant’ (a questionable name for such a technology) has been utilised in the development of sexual abuse material of children and women. This demonstrates a clear flaw in the technology that was always predetermined to occur in the patriarchal society that we inhabit....

FAQ
What is an Open Letter?
It's a public letter that you write to address together your company, organization, institution, city, government.
What is the difference with a petition?
The goal of a petition is to have as many people as possible to sign it. The goal of an open letter is to have people relevant to topic to sign it. It's not the same to have a petition to ask our government to make wearing a mask mandatory than having an open letter signed by 100 doctors, or a petition to ask Google to stop supporting the fossil fuel industry than an open letter signed by a 1000 of their employees. There is no author to an open letter, only co-signatories. No email address is collected. Who wrote it doesn't matter. Who signed it does.
Why do I need to provide an email address to sign a letter?
To avoid abuse. We want to make sure that each signature is linked to an actual email address. We don't record your email address unless you explicitly opted in to receive updates about the open letter that you are signing.
What about privacy?
We have no cookies, no trackers, no 3rd party script or ads. We only ask for your email address to confirm your signature (see question above).
Can I limit who can sign it?
No. That's why we recommend you to carefully share it to the right people at the beginning, so that they will get the opportunity to be first people showing up as the signatories.
