100+ civil society organizations call on US Department of Labor to restore funding to fight forced labor & child labor. These programs protect workers & ensure fair competition for American businesses. We must stand up to stop these counterproductive cuts. htlegalcenter.org/wp-content/u...

At #HRC58 I welcomed #Canada’s support for human rights defenders abroad. But I had to say it: Canadian extractive mining companies are putting defenders at risk all over the world. We need binding due diligence obligations, a stronger CORE, and real accountability.

#MEDIA Oil & gas CEOs are trying to gut Canada’s climate progress to protect their profits. Canadians fought for decades to cut emissions. We can’t let Big Oil drag us backwards. 📢 Full statement: bit.ly/3Fz5yiC

The USW and the @CanadianLabour filed a joint complaint with the CORE against Mark's. However, the case was closed without conducting an investigation, and without recommending any follow-up actions to be taken by Mark’s. Read more: usw.ca/abject-failu... #solidarity

#MEDIA In 2024, fossil fuel lobbyists met with federal officials 1,135 times. That's over 4 times per workday. Our New Report Exposes Big Oil’s Relentless Lobbying in 2024 📢 Press release here ⬇️ environmentaldefence.ca/2025/03/04/n...

The EC's Omnibus Proposal betrays the people the CSDDD was meant to protect to the interests of big corporations. By limiting due diligence and gutting access to justice, this proposal would allow corporate abuse to continue to run rampant. We need more corporate accountability, not less.

The #Omnibus package announced this morning has taken the form of pure deregulation. It sacrifices much-needed binding rules for businesses and compromises the EU’s reputation as a trailblazer in environmental and human rights protection. Our reaction: www.fidh.org/en/issues/bu...

📰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...

With a quote from Above Ground's director, Karen Hamilton.
