🇪🇺 The EU is expected to unveil its new Civil Society Strategy today alongside the #DemocracyShield.

...courage means:
"To keep going — despite all the pressure and challenges.
To defend everyone’s rights — even those who question our very existence.
And finally: to have the courage to grow and innovate. Without it, civil society organizations quickly risk becoming irrelevant."
