🚨The EU’s new “Return Regulation” is really a Deportation Regulation.

It expands detention, weakens safeguards & creates profit for private contractors – at the expense of people’s dignity & communities.

Over 200 organisations say: Reject it.

At #SOTEU2025 we heard borders, defence & profit. On human rights & anti-racism? Silence. 🤐

These priorities fuel more violence & marginalisation of racialised communities. The new #EUAntiRacismStrategy 2026-2030 must deliver impact with accountability and cooperation with grassroots movements.✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾

We call on MEPs to vote against the planned expansion of surveillance powers for #Europol
Tuesday because it:
❌ fails to protect migrants or reduce border deaths.
❌ is a power grab by Europol.
❌ criminalises migrants & solidarity organisers.

On 25 April, Aboubakar Cissé was executed inside a mosque in southern France.

The response? Silence. Denial. And when public pressure forced a minute of silence in Parliament, his death was still framed as an isolated act of hate — a lone extremist.

The throwback to Anti-racism and Diversity Week 2025 still continues!

🎥 “This was not an isolated act of hatred—it was the result of systemic Islamophobia and Anti-Blackness.”

Check out our interview in @trtespanol, where @nourhenemahmoudi.bsky.social examines the assassination of Aboubakar and reveals how Islamophobia and anti-Black racism are embedded in France.
May 1, 2025 at 4:15 PM
🔴 His assassination is not an exception. It’s an outcome of decades of laws, narrative and repression that criminalise Black and Muslim lives in France, all under the guise of “laïcité” and “republican values.” 🔴

‼️ Aboubakar Cissé was executed inside a mosque, in a country where anti-Blackness and Islamophobia are state-sponsored. ‼️

Kicking off #ARDW25 with an incredible 🎙️keynote from @emiliaroig.bsky.social, a best-selling social justice author.

Dr Roig warned all dehumanisation rests on the hierarchy between humans, but also humans and the rest of the universe. An urgent shift is needed to (re)imagine racial justice. ⚠️
