Europe's wildfires prove we can't wait. 🔥 Soon, EU governments discuss the 2040 climate target. Demand they deliver on their promises: 90%+ CO2 cuts!

Tell your minister to prioritize YOU, not polluters. No more excuses. ✊ share.greens-efa.eu/s/y9vPxwMK
Ask them to keep their promise for our climate.

Awarding the UN's Francesca Albanese a Nobel Peace Prize would be powerful global recognition of her great courage in speaking out against genocide in Gaza.

It would be a clear statement of utter disgust from us all.

Nobel Peace Prize for Francesca Albanese and the doctors of Gaza
Netanyahu just nominated Trump for the Nobel peace prize. Let’s show that the world thinks - Francesca and Gaza doctors deserve it instead!

Don't stay silent on Gaza. Netanyahu's actions violate human rights and Europe needs to act.
I've just emailed EU politicians to demand the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

100% this. America’s lurch into fascism is rapid and astonishing, but surely indisputable.
This is a clear cut coordination policy intended to force independent institutions into loyalty with the regime. It is obviously the behaviour of an authoritarian state and anyone who claims otherwise needs their fucking head examined www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
