🚨Right wing MEPs, backed by Uber's aggressive lobby, have managed to put this deal to a plenary vote.🚨
Doing so, they hope to weaken the deal and worsen the already precarious position of millions of platform workers. Let's make our voices heard: https://act.greens-efa.eu/uber-exploits

Vreselijk hoe de anti-trans campagne de Britse regering is binnengedrongen.
Ik steun de Britse trans personen voor wie deze wet cruciaal en levensreddend kan zijn. 🏳️⚧️💕
Hopelijk wordt dit geen voorbeeld voor de Nederlandse transgenderwet @VVD @cdavandaag

RT @groenlinks: Geweldig nieuws: de Eerste Kamer stemde zojuist voor ons voorstel voor een uitbreiding van artikel 1 van de Grondwet!
Vanaf nu is discriminatie op basis van seksuele gerichtheid en handicap expliciet verboden. 💪

We have to stop pursuing the single market as a goal in itself: and rather see how we can use it and change it to help our citizens and to build a socially just Europe. 2/

The single market has been essential for European Integration. However, let's also be self-critical on how it has left people behind. E.g. weakening of social protection and a race to the bottom on taxes. Companies profiting from the inflation crisis at the expense of citizens.1/
RT @GreensEFA: Happy birthday #SingleMarket 🎉💚 A 30th birthday is the ideal time to reflect. Our vision is clear: we want the single market to strive for social justice, consumer protecti…

@DefendDemocracy A global fascism/far right is on the rise, facilitated by profit-driven tech companies that systematically continue to recommend and amplify disinformation. The EU cannot afford to be naive in the current geopolitical situation. 2/

RT @AmosToh: 1/ App workers endure long hours, low pay, and dangerous conditions to get us to our destination and deliver us food, groceries and other essentials.
Will the EU stop these abuses or preserve the status quo?

RT @GreensEFA: Consent & respect are romantic. Stalking is not. It’s gender-based violence.
In the EU, we are working for a feminist future without harassment & gender-based violence.
A future, where everyone will be safe & free.
Where romantic gestures are based on consent & respect.

We call for emergency legislation at EU level to ensure that no one has their energy disconnected or is evicted during this crisis!

Steeds meer mensen in Europa kunnen hun energierekening niet betalen en lopen het risico om uit hun huis te worden gezet of afgesloten te worden. Ondertussen blijven fossiele bedrijven winst maken.
We hebben noodwetgeving nodig om dakloosheid en energiearmoede te voorkomen:

We welcome the agreement reached today by @europarl_en, @EUCouncil & @CommissionEU on Pay transparency to ensure #EqualPay.
In the #EU, women still earn 13% less than men. Highlighting pay gaps will incite to take action where it is needed.
