🤝 Civil society isn't an accessory to democracy or an audience to be managed. It is its front-line defence. Yet across the EU, its funding is cut & its integrity is questioned. Will progressives stand by it? 🗞️ Read the Progressive Page by @mikaelleyi.bsky.social Sec Gen @solidar-eu.bsky.social

93 million Europeans are currently at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The European Commission published its first-ever EU Anti-Poverty Strategy, a plan to eradicate poverty by 2050. 👀 Our new briefing paper critically examines its potential to help eradicate poverty in the EU.

1/2🧵 Last month the Commission published the 2026 Spring Package. The Commission's logic: competitiveness & strategic autonomy lead to social resilience and cohesion. At SOLIDAR, we'd flip it: strengthening social rights & cohesion is what makes the EU more competitive and resilient.💪

"Send them back" chants in the European Parliament are unacceptable. With 64 civil society organisations, we're calling on President Roberta Metsola to condemn the growing normalisation of racist, anti-migrant and anti-LGBTI rhetoric in Parliament. Zero tolerance for hate speech.
