What’s our take, pt.2? Stop funding the 1%. ➡️ fyeg.org/fair-money-f... No to an agricultural plan that funds factory farms and big corporations while 800 small farms shut down every single day in Europe. Sign the petition and tell politicians negotiating this: we need socially just agriculture.

Debunking the EU's toxic relationship with agriculture ⤵️ A third of the EU's budget is funding agriculture through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). And still, farmers spread potatoes throughout the streets of Brussels one month ago in protest. What's that all about?

ICE at the Olympics isn't a coincidence. It's a test to see if we stay silent while they import even more ICE-style tactics into Europe. And there's a new plan for that: the "return regulation" would allow deportations before appeals, raids, and up to 2 years in detention prisons, even of children.

ALL EYES ON THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA! This week, the Madleen has set sail to break the Gaza blockade, carrying humanitarian aid and a message of justice. On board are 12 brave activists, including Greta Thunberg and MEP Rima Hassan, risking their lives to challenge the illegal siege.

🇪🇺 The European project was, and still is, the greatest antidote to nationalism and tyranny that our continent ever created. Never have we needed it more. Now, it is our turn to resist and take this peace project further. Stronger, greener, more united and more democratic.

For Europe Day, let's build a Europe we want. A set of 12 emojis, representing the European flag stars on a blue background. The emojis are a dove, a rainbow, a farmer, a recycling icon, a wolf, a gay couple, a sunflower, a train, a leefy green, the sun, an artist, a cyclist.Inside the twelve stars of the European flag, the text says: For a stronger, greener, more united and more democratic europe.

Today, we woke up to the news that our friend Cemre Nayır was arrested in Turkey, alongside 90 other activists accused of taking part in the organisation of illegal demonstrations. The right to protest is not a crime. It’s a cornerstone of a free society. Read our joint statement with CDN here:

If adulthood is a game, someone forgot to hand us the rulebook - or a livable wage. Being young in 2025 means fighting for sustainable jobs, affordable housing, and the chance to build a future without sacrificing our mental health.

‼️NEW CAMPAIGN‼️ 🐣 Animal suffering is policy failure. That's why we’re supporting 10 animal rights groups in calling on Members of the European Parliament to sign a pledge destined to protecting animals. There is no true social justice without justice for animals. ➡️ fyeg.org/animal-rights

🏳️‍⚧️🫂 This week, in a ruling on the Equality Act, the UK Supreme Court defined women based on biological sex only. This means that trans women are excluded from protections and spaces meant for women under this law, even when they hold gender recognition certificates.
