📣 New briefing with @eurodadnews.bsky.social & @concord-europe.bsky.social: EU blended finance & the illusion of development
As Global Europe is redesigned, “mobilise private capital” is becoming the default answer. That’s a political choice, not a technical tweak.

Share this post and contact your local TDs to tell them we need to pass the Occupied Territories Bill now!
These new measures are not isolated administrative changes but part of a long-term strategy to erase Palestinian presence from the West Bank. Ireland has repeatedly stated that settlements are illegal. It must now match words with action by passing the Occupied Territories Bill.
Israel’s security cabinet has approved a series of sweeping measures to expand its powers across the occupied West Bank. This includes easing the sale of Palestinian land to Israeli settlers and expanding the powers of Israeli authorities in areas under Palestinian control.
All eyes on the West Bank

Gaza’s humanitarian crisis continues. Civilians are paying the price.

Listen back to our Programme Manager Cillian Quinn and Ola Mustapha who helped to lead our peer research speaking to @rteradio1.bsky.social Morning Ireland on our new report Between Hope and a Home. (20 minutes) www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...
The report makes clear that while Ireland’s wider housing crisis affects everyone, it does not do so equally. For lone-parent migrants – often black women, and women who feel isolated and are juggling care, work, trauma and unfamiliar systems – the barriers are multiplied.
Between Hope and a Home, documents how lone parents – most of them women – face discrimination, unaffordable rents, inadequate supports, and inconsistent local authority practices that leave families effectively trapped between Direct Provision and homelessness.
Our new peer-led research has found that lone-parent migrant families with legal status in Ireland are being forced to leave Direct Provision and their communities with no realistic way of securing housing.
We’re doing our best to keep Palestine in the news. We've recently had pieces on @rteradio1.bsky.social, @irishtimes.com, @thejournal.ie, @irishexaminer.bsky.social and Irish Mail on Sunday, amplifying the voices of women, children, medics, and aid workers living through impossible conditions.
The Trump admin's capture of the Venezuelan president & its decision to pull out of the #UNFCCC show a blatant disdain for peace & #ClimateJustice.

The new tropical forest fund is a gamble in the casino of financial markets. Public finance is scarce&needs to go directly to forest communities rather than to complex financial instruments that aren’t guaranteed to raise money or benefit people.
