Just as far-right forces crack down on civil society dealing with the climate, a new study reveals that lobbyists from the top fossil-fuel industry organisations had over 1,000 MEP meetings within less than a year.

The working group established yesterday by the EP is a scam. The EP CONTalready ady have full rights to scrutinise how NGOs use their EU money.
It is not a tool for transparency. It's an attempt to silence civil society, people power and public interest. Rest assured, we will not be silenced.

Deregulation hands power to the few at the expense of the many.
It turns society into a playground for the powerful while, ordinary people bear the real costs: poisoned water, toxic air, unsafe workplaces, climate breakdown, and lost democratic control.

We were many dressed in red on the streets of Brussels - people power in action. In a messy world, with rampant injustice it's so easy to feel helpless, it's a small thing we can do - coming together, mobilising, marching. Together we hold power.
🔴✊Today in Brussels, together with 1000s of people and 100s of civil society organisations, we’re drawing the red line for Gaza!

You know how the #greentransition could lead to a boom in demand for minerals needed in batteries (3*increase in #lithium demand by 2050 for instance)? And how large-scale mining rarely is conflict sensitive and entails social and environmental harm? Impossible equation? No! 1/3

Spent the morning interviewing for a digital peacebuilding role at @SFCG_EU, and am continuing on the topic at #ForwardFest @www11be. The hopeful news: there are options for platform design. They don't need to be fora for decisiveness and disinformation.
