Governments are ´cutting red tape´ which are environmental and social safeguards to protect people from pollution and corporate abuse. This short-sighted strategy of conservative and far-right politicians is jeopardizing public health and environmental quality. #RulesToProtect @eppgroup.bsky.social

@foeeurope.bsky.social stands in solidarity with SOS Suído-Seixo in their fight against lithium mining in Doade (Galicia). Together with citizens from various communities affected by destructive mining, we denounced the EU's undemocratic process regarding "strategic" projects #MinaAlbertaNON

Apache mag eerstdaags een dagvaarding verwachten. Maar door meteen 5.000€ schadevergoeding te betalen en een passage te schrappen uit het artikel ‘Rassentheorie maakt school aan UGent’ zouden we een rechtszaak kunnen vermijden. Het is een ongeziene poging tot intimidatie.

📢International Protest Against Unfair Debate on Lithium Mining in Serbia📣on the 5th of February in Brussels. A peaceful demonstration to demand a meaningful dialogue about the real impacts by extractivism, instead of the current greenwashing and repression. More info: tiny.cc/4nt8001

NGOs could lose crucial EU funding, leaving rich corporate lobbyists to dominate policymaking.

Without civil society, there's no one to hold power to account or fight for people's rights and the planet.

Creating a #postgrowth society is not utopian — it’s necessary to ensure #wellbeing. As this review in #TheLancet shows, policies to rethink progress #beyondGDP are possible and aligned with planetary boundaries. Starting with equitable wealth taxes to strengthen public services. #limitstogrowth
