We support the call of our partner @ecdpeace for a more humane approach to #migrantcrisis. Let us not forget the #mothers and their #Children

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

You want to talk about getting people back to work? Then let’s talk about child care. Putting quality, affordable child care within every family's reach will be a game-changer. And we can make it happen with the #BuildBackBetter plan.

This to remind all our leaders 👇🏻#genderequity #womenrights

[Michel Barnier @MichelBarnier]

Il faut un Conseil européen extraordinaire ! Tous les dirigeants européens doivent tirer ensemble les leçons de la tragédie actuelle en Afghanistan. Ce n’est pas qu’un échec américain. Sécurité, terrorisme, islamisme, migration, stabilité régionale : ce sont aussi nos enjeux.
