We call on the EU to:
✅ Keep these laws strong

ACT EU welcomes the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages. We pray that all parties uphold the agreement and take every necessary measure to prevent further violence and loss of life. May this moment mark a turning point towards a lasting and just peace in the region.

🚨 Over 160 CSOs, trade unions & activists say #NoToOmnibus.

We want an EU that leads on the protection of people & planet. Weakening the #CSDDD, #CSRD & #EUTaxonomy is a betrayal of the EU’s commitments.
