We wish you a Merry Christmas—a time to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. May the New Year bring greater peace, understanding, and responsible decision-making.

🌍 10 December is International Human Rights Day. In 1948, the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, affirming that every person has equal dignity, freedoms and rights – regardless of where they were born, which passport they hold or what they believe. #HumanRightsDay

BREAKING: The EU watchdog just replied to our complaints. And she stands with us.

She has found that the @ec.europa.eu committed maladministration when it prepared its Omnibus I and 2024 CAP proposals to roll back key environmental protections.

Here are the findings:⬇️

The time to act is NOW!

🟦 Today, the European Parliament will decide whether the #Omnibus package truly protects human rights and the environment.
👀 If you want to see for yourself whether the EP still stands for European values, you can watch the session live.

PRESS RELEASE EU Commission’s Omnibus proposal is full-scale deregulation designed to dismantle corporate accountability - ECCJ

📰It's out: the @ec.europa.eu has announced its #Omnibus proposal

And it's BAD🚨

If adopted as it stands, Omnibus would deliver a devastating blow to the EU’s commitments to climate neutrality & its pledge to uphold human rights on the global stage
corporatejustice.org/news/press-r...

📢 The EU is abandoning corporate accountability – we must not let this happen!
PIHBR joined over 360 organizations in signing a statement opposing the Omnibus proposal, which weakens key EU sustainability laws.
We urge the EU Council & Parliament to reject this harmful deregulation!

Silent Discrimination Against Women – Not Just on March 8
In Europe, gender equality is increasingly dismissed as “ideology,” while women’s rights become a political battleground.
🚨 Silence should not mean acceptance. We must speak up before “equality” becomes another empty slogan.

@somoamsterdam.bsky.social CSDDD Datahub is live, offering knowledge about companies covered by the EU's CSDDD.

It's a game-changer for understanding the CSDDD's real-world impact, and it shows that it is less than anticipated in debunking lobby myths.

🚨Over 160 CSOs, trade unions & activists say #NoToOmnibus
President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu we want an EU that leads on the protection of people & planet. Weakening the #CSDDD, #CSRD & #EUTaxonomy is a betrayal of the EU’s commitments.
