Homelessness. Housing crises. Empty consultations. At our annual #PEPMeeting, people experiencing poverty made one thing clear: they don't need token invitations. They need a permanent role in shaping the policies that affect their lives. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #EndPoverty #EUAdvocacy

European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN) @eapneurope.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

The Commission's Communication on the future of the European Pillar of Social Rights brings welcome progress on housing, minimum income, in-work poverty and quality jobs. But social rights are still treated as a means to competitiveness. Ending poverty must be a political choice. #EndPoverty #EPSR

European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN) @eapneurope.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Behind every policy debate, there are real lives. When people experiencing poverty meet policymakers and experts, we listen and learn. Key critiques from our last PEP Meeting are shaping what we fight for next. Meaningful participation means not just listening but acting.

Day 2 of #PEPMeeting was about turning participation into a collective action. Meaningful participation is not a one-off event; it is not a one-time seat at the table. Meaningful participation is a permanent place in the conversation. A role in decision-making. A voice that shapes what comes next.

When the EU allowed unused cohesion funds to be redirected, the political priority became defence and competitiveness. Not housing, healthcare, decarbonisation or the provision of the most needed social services. 👉 Check out our position paper on it: www.eapn.eu/wp-content/u...
