We're outside the European Parliament this morning to call for an end to abuse in subcontracting and end gangmaster practices.

#EndingAbuse

We helped the European Parliament Meet THE PICKERS 🍊

At our event last week we spotlighted the need to protect migrant workers, ensure fair pricing, strengthen social conditionality and deliver dignity across agriculture in Europe.

Yesterday in Brussels, Maria Noichl, MEP, and Ivan Ivanov ( @effat.org ) spoke at the screening of THE PICKERS at Cinéma Aventure.

The public was engaged and moved by the film, the inspiring discussion and the hope that things can change for migrant workers in Europe.

The #backtothefuture march ended last night with a bang.
But today it is The Pickers screening at Cinéma Aventure, in Brussels, at 19:00.

We will be joined by Ivan Ivanov from @effat.org and Maria Noichl for a discussion afterwards.

Please come meet us there!

Keeping that energy high this morning ⚡️ Only 20k more to go until we get to Brussels and sing this in full ❤️
