Imagine escaping war hoping for safety—only to face closed borders, risk arrest, and be left without work, education, healthcare.  This is a reality for millions of refugees.  

Don’t look away. Let’s stand in solidarity with refugees.   https://t.co/0mk2mWHDUj

Plastic pollution is contributing to the climate crisis. It’s a threat to nature, livelihoods, and lives.

To #BeatPlasticPollution means protecting the environment, securing jobs, and preventing people from being forced to leave their homes.

We must act now!

[JRS Europe @JRSEurope]

The EU’s proposed returns regulation risks more human rights violations—prolonged detention & rushed returns based on vague agreements. We advocate for a process that respects dignity & rights.
