Political and grassroots organising

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

IMPORTANT. Very few days to add your signature. Do not let another day of European political complicity go unscrutinised.

[LeftAllianceEU @LeftAlliance_EU]

Something powerful happened in Milan.

Over 300 people packed a room to hear from leaders across 13 left parties and a panel of experts - all united around a simple truth: the rich must pay their fair share; the momentum is now.

Thank you to everyone who joined!

[LeftAllianceEU @LeftAlliance_EU]

It's historic. 1M people have already signed to urge the EU to end the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

Let's now get 1.5 M signatures !

The EU’s complicity with Israel’s blatant human rights violations and illegal occupation must end.

The EU must suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement immediately.

Sign our European Citizens' Initiative urging the EU to suspend this agreement: https://t.co/DWpcijHbpa

In the past hours, Israel killed at least 254 people in Lebanon, in a new wave of brutal, indiscriminate airstrikes - the real toll is likely far higher.

Israel’s plan is clear: replicate in Lebanon the genocide that it is carrying out in Palestine. From the EU, only inaction.

Thousands of people dying because of the US-Israel illegal attacks in Iran, and @kajakallas' reaction is: "The closure of the Strait of Hormuz hurts the global economy".

EU's complicity at its finest ...

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz hurts the global economy and helps Russia fund its war.

It is affecting our partners in the region and is dangerous for global energy supplies.

Today, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how to better protect shipping in the region, including contributions from our Aspides naval mission.

My press remarks ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓

[LeftAllianceEU @LeftAlliance_EU]

The US-Israel joint attacks in Iran are, once again, a blatant violation of international law.

Democracy and freedom come from the people, not from imperialistic wars.

Iranians' right to determine their own future must be respected.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Europeans are ahead of their governments and EU institutions.
Public support for Israel has collapsed, opposition to the genocide is growing.
It’s not too late to reclaim power & stand up for justice.
May millions of EU citizens will sign this initiative:

At the past EU legislature published the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child, the challenge will now be to ensure its meaningful and effective implementation.

[World Vision EU @WorldVisionEU]

As @StefanoSpadaro4 said, we also urge the new @Europarl_EN to ensure an effective and meaningful implementation of the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child.

[Stefano Spadaro @StefanoSpadaro4]

As the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child was published in the past EU legislature, the challenge will be now to ensure its effective and meaningful implementation.

[World Vision EU @WorldVisionEU]

One month ago, @EUCouncil updated the🇪🇺Guidelines on Children and Armed Conflict. Will the EU turn good intentions into action?

Being in Strasburg last week was a great opportunity to join colleagues from other child rights organisations in asking new @Europarl_EN members to ensure children's rights and needs, including outside of the EU's borders, will be at the core of their mandates.

[World Vision EU @WorldVisionEU]

Last week, our colleagues @AllegraIngenito & @StefanoSpadaro4 joined other child rights orgs in Strasbourg to meet MEPs and stress the importance of putting children's rights at the🧡 of their mandates.

Quick #comms reflection on #AI content generators such as #ChatGPT.

What role they'll play is too soon to say but they

1️⃣often provide useful drafts, more than ready-to-use copies
2️⃣are a good place for brainstorming
3️⃣are probably here to stay.

Any specific tool to suggest?

[Stefano Spadaro @StefanoSpadaro4]

It was great to meet the rest of the team in London!

I'm very proud of being part of such passionate and hardworking team, with one clear goal in mind: a digital world designed to protect children from sexual exploitation and abuse.

If you're wondering what are the (proposed or already into effect) online safety laws worldwide tackling #childsexualabuse online, this thread ⤵️ can come in handy, by showing a few of them.
