#BackToTheFuture march.

Yesterday, we left Maastricht and tomorrow we'll arrive in the heart of the EU capital.

Join us & meet our marchers pushing back against the EU's deregulation agenda.
We are getting closer and closer to Brussels. @ec.europa.eu can you hear us yet👂👂

We do not want deregulation❗️ We want clean air, safe water, and healthy soil.

Let’s protect them!

We're very happy to announce our new campaign partner in France Comité Contre l'Esclavage Moderne (Committee Against Modern Slavery)

CCEM has been combating all forms of human trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation since 1994.
