🚨 EU ministers just agreed to take away farmers' & consumers’ right to choose what they grow in their fields & eat!
No more labelling, no more safety checks for #newGMOs. Despite the food industry’s & citizens’ demand to keep their right to know about all generations of GMOs.
Our full reaction 👇
🤯 Attacking the EU Methane Regulation in the midst of an energy crisis is a dangerous distraction.
The real risk is dependence on fossil fuel imports, not regulatory requirements.

Factory farming is a major but overlooked driver of the #climatecrisis❗
Animal factories pollute our air, water, soil & the people living nearby. Yet they're backed by public money via development banks.
📢 Today, communities worldwide urge the World Bank to #StopFinancingFactoryFarming. Join us!
Dear friends,
We spent months digging through meeting logs, consultation records, and Omnibus texts, and what we found is as bad as you (and we) suspected.

We need a legally #BindingTreaty to pave the way for justice for the peoples affected by corporate violations and to hold those very same transnational corporations to account.
Relying on corporations to voluntarily regulate themselves presents a clear conflict of interest and will never work
Affected peoples and communities are the heart of the UN #BindingTreaty on transnational corporations and human rights
The treaty needs to reflect this reality and centre their lived experiences
@fian-international.bsky.social
The #BindingTreaty meant to secure access to justice for those affected by transnational corporations must centre the needs of those communities and peoples, not the desires of corporations.
From the Amazon to Palestine, it’s time to #StopCorporateImpunity
At the #BindingTreaty intersessionals, we’re gathering with affected communities and social movements to demand an end to corporate impunity.
Transnational corporations are sacrificing peoples and planet in the name of profit. We need a legally binding instrument to dismantle their corporate power.
Seeking a better life in an unstable world is not a crime.
We stand with @foeint.bsky.social , @foeus.bsky.social and people affected by xenophobia and oppression everywhere.

People in Cumbria fought against a coal mine and won. But corporate courts mean that’s not the end of the story.
Our new film produced by Planet House Productions in collaboration with us, @tradejusticemov.bsky.social and @friends-earth.bsky.social earth – out now.
Our chief executive, Asad Rehman, spoke at the half a million strong #Together Alliance march on Saturday, to make it clear that when we unite we are stronger than the hate, division and climate denial being spread by the far right. It's time to say yes to unity, hope, and building solidarity. 💚✊
🐔 Shocking investigation by @tbij.bsky.social on the spread of "ghost" animal factories in Poland & the very real danger they pose to people's health and nature.

Commissioner Séjourné held 84 meetings on #deregulation.
All 84 were with business groups.
Not one civil society org. Not one.
This isn't consultation.
This is what corporate capture looks like.

🚨 BREAKING: The 🇪🇺 Parliament agreed to lock us into fossil gas blackmail
MEPs approved the US-EU deal, which has been informally coupled to the purchase of 🇺🇸 LNG. To the great benefit of fossil fuel corporations. To the great expense of climate, democracy & European sovereignty.
Our reaction 👇
Warning: disturbing content
Any violence against human rights and environmental defenders is unacceptable. We are deeply concerned by what is happening in Indonesia and strongly condemn it.
As Danes head to the polls today, the “pig election” puts factory farming front & centre 🐖
It's about people vs pollution for profit, and backing small, caring farmers over big agri. People are pushing back & it’s being heard 👉 stopfactoryfarming.eu/news/why-hav...

Buildings account for around 40% of energy consumption in the EU and nearly ¾ of homes are energy inefficient.
Climate action starts at home.

Rewatch the Parliament hearing featuring
🎙️UN Special Rapporteur Marcos Orellana
🎙️former International Criminal Court Judge Navi Pillay
🎙️Women on Farms' Director Colette Solomon
👇 multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstream...
This week in Brussels made it clear:
🇿🇦 From South Africa, Women on Farms met with MEPs & EU Commission
🔦 A EU Parliament hearing put the issue in the spotlight
🎞️ "Toxic Harvest: The Hidden Truth about Pesticides” was screened for the public
Many event, one message: stop exporting banned pesticides.
🛢️ Too toxic for Europeans but shipped abroad?
UN expert on toxics & human rights called it what it is: the EU’s failure to end exports of banned pesticides is a “blatant violation” of people’s right to health.
From across the world, we call on the EU Commission to stop this double standard 👇
They call it #simplification. It means pollution. Commission gives a blank cheque. Big business enjoys. People die.
On #WorldWaterDay, we’re facing a dangerous shift.
Business lobbies want weaker water rules, faster permits, fewer checks - for profit.
The @ec.europa.eu must protect water.
The US-EU deal is bad for Europe's transition & energy sovereignty. The EU's promise to buy more US LNG means a fossil fuel lock-in❗
The @europarl.europa.eu must reject
- this climate-killing deal
- Trump's imperialism
AND accelerate the fossil gas phase-out❗

EU leaders gather today in Brussels to discuss how to make Europe more competitive.
Across Europe, trade unions have been sending the same message: the solution lies in investment, not deregulation.
A 🧵 of what unions have been saying ahead of today's meeting of EU leaders ⤵️
This 👏
Activists project a golden facade and the words “TRUMP TOWER” onto the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, mimicking one of President Trump’s skyscrapers, with a Greenpeace message urging EU leaders meeting today to stop capitulating to his demands. The Greenpeace Belgium activists were protesting the EU’s continued dependence on the US for oil and gas imports, the removal of protections for the environment, public health and privacy, and the lack of resistance to the US’s breaches of international law.
Activists turned the EU Commission HQ in Brussels into Trump Tower, protesting the EU's willingness to give President Trump what he wants
EU politicians rip up EU nature and privacy laws to please Trump, promise to buy US oil and gas, and overlook breaches of international law
#ResistTrumpsAgenda
BREAKING: The EU Parliament's trade committee has voted in favour of the EU-US trade deal that would lock Europe into imports of US oil and gas
Handing more power to Trump and the US fossil fuel industry while breaches of international law spike energy prices is a disaster
#ResistTrumpsAgenda
Scandal alert!
🖋️ VDL has officially declined to meet the people.
While she’s busy with the industry, she has declined the 270+ groups waiting for her. We’re withholding our ball because we don't talk to empty chairs.
Stay tuned: the ton isn't going anywhere, and we have a lot to say about this snub.
