From Avaaz -
Initiatives like this may or may not have any real effect. But whenever a people stand up for what is right, they should be acknowledged with gratitude.
Dear friends --
One small European country may have just struck a bright, beautiful blow for hope and unity today!
After Brexit and Trump, everyone said the nationalist, racist Prime Minister candidate Wilders would win in the Netherlands. But yesterday, the Dutch people overwhelmingly rejected his hate AND chose instead a beautiful team of environmentalists, socialists and decent democratic leaders.
We can make this the wall that stops the march of the far right.
If we massively celebrate the Dutch vote from every corner on earth, we can take the wind out of the sails of Trump-style politicians everywhere and send a message of warning to the white nationalists trying to grab power in upcoming elections in France and Germany.
Add your name to the open thank you letter -- it will be published in newspapers in the Netherlands, the US and across Europe.

To the people of the Netherlands:
Thank you for choosing hope, unity, dialogue and diversity over hatred, division, fear and old fascist rhetoric. By rejecting Geert Wilders' Trump-styled politics you’ve helped stop the rise of the far right and white nationalists everywhere, and shown the world that when we come together, what unites us can overcome the bigotry and lies used to divide us.
We stand with you in fighting extremism, and pledge to do the same in our own countries.
Yours sincerely,

Well done, TRS, and thank you all.
