Unakzeptabel: Bundesregierung will dt. Lieferkettengesetz massiv abschwächen + gibt Zivilgesellschaft 24 Std, die Änderungen zu kommentieren!
Das neue Gesetz würde DE weiter vom international anerkannten UN-Standard für Wirtschaft & Menschenrechte entfernen.

🚨 Israelische Streitkräfte haben Hunderte hungernde Palästinenser*innen getötet, während sie in #Gaza nach Essen gesucht haben.
Das sind keine Einzelfälle, sondern Kriegsverbrechen.

Excellent overview of the region that’s likely the next target of Putin’s murderous imperialism - and of nations that offer some inspiration and hope for confronting it. Well written and widely sourced, it’s sympathetic to the cause but presents the nuances and doubts fairly. #books

UK Social Security Plans Will Harm People With Disabilities
While the UK government claims its moves “will protect the most vulnerable,” in reality its plans to cut £4.5 billion in disability-linked benefits by 2030 will have a devastating impact on people’s r...
2/15 I'll spell out below some of what's so wrong with the UCPIP Bill, with links to other groups with expertise.
This may help as a starter.
Budget savings should not come at the cost of the lives and rights of people with disabilities. Human dignity must come first.

Joint civil society statement on the UC & PIP Bill
Monday 30th June 2025
We are coming together as organisations committed to fighting poverty,
providing advice, and supporting and championing the rights of disabled
people, their families, and carers. We stand firmly with disabled people and
their organisations in calling for the UK government to withdraw the UC & PIP
Bill and to undertake genuine dialogue with disabled people to shape
reforms centred on the rights and dignity that all disabled people need and
deserve.
At a time when the share of GDP spent on working-age social security has
remained stable for the last ten years, cutting the incomes of disabled people
is a political choice. There is time for the government to pursue alternatives.
If this Bill is voted through, then by 2030 it will have cut PIP for more than
400,000 disabled people and Universal Credit for more than 700,000 people
who are disabled or have a long-term health condition. These numbers will
only increase in the years to follow.
This Bill has also been brought before parliament:
• Without consultation with disabled people
• Without any assessment of its impact on health and employment
outcomes
• Before the planned review of the PIP assessment has properly begun
its work
• Without knowing how the outcome of the PIP review may affect these
reforms
The changes announced last week and the compressed timetable for scrutiny
mean that MPs will only have a single day to debate or amend the new
provisions. There is too much at stake for disabled people for this Bill to be
rushed through without the opportunity for meaningful challenge or
scrutiny. We urge all MPs to vote against this Bill at Second Reading.

Today, the UK government will ask MPs to railroad through social security legislation that makes cuts to disability-related benefits to the next stage.
@hrw.org joins 80+ other orgs asking MPs to reject the UCPIP Bill. It is bad news for human rights.

Das Lieferkettengesetz ist in Gefahr… - Initiative Lieferkettengesetz
Wir treten ein für eine Welt, in der Unternehmen Menschenrechte, Klima und Umwelt achten - mit einem wirksamen Lieferkettengesetz!
Heute haben sich @cducsubt @spdbt MdBs für eine EU-Regelung zu Menschenrechten & Umwelt in Lieferketten ausgesprochen. Das ist gut.
Aber werden sie das EU-Gesetz #CSDDD von 2024 verteidigen, das nun in Gefahr ist?
