What would you say to someone who thinks the EU-Mercosur deal is just about economic opportunity? Dinamam Tuxá @apiboficial.bsky.social is an Indigenous leader of the Tuxá people, from the Tuxá Indigenous Land in Brazil. He came to Brussels to tell EU leaders exactly why the deal is so harmful.

🫣 Imagine waking up in a Europe where you can’t trust the water from your tap, the air you breathe, or the food on your plate. Where no one checks if rules are enforced and disinformation goes unchallenged. That’s not dystopia - it’s the logical outcome of a trend already visible across Europe.

The EU banned epoxiconazole, but still produces it to export to the Global South! It is a fungicide banned in2020, toxic to reproduction as it negatively impacts fertility, a healthy pregnancy, concerns to cause cancer, & very toxic to aquatic life, birds and wild animals.

The #CorporateLobby gives transnational corporations a seat at the table in multilateral spaces Affected communities should be at the heart of the #BindingTreaty meant to regulate TNCs, not the corporations that threaten their lives, land and rights Read more here👇 bit.ly/48w1DiW

"Transnational corporations violate our human rights with impunity and we’re left without access to justice. Our land is still flooded with oil after Chevron dumped it in the Amazon. We need a #BindingTreaty because the situation is dire.” - Pablo Fajardo, @udapt.bsky.social / FoE Ecuador

"As a community affected by corporate crimes, we don't have access to justice, let alone reparations. With voluntary frameworks, corporate crimes continue. We need a strong #BindingTreaty with obligations now. Peoples' lives are not optional." - Maritza Criollo @udapt.bsky.social / FoE Ecuador

"There shouldn’t be corporate influence at all at the #BindingTreaty negotiations. Transnational corporations are clearly not legitimate in decision-making processes meant to regulate them. It is a clear and absolute conflict of interest." - Juliette Renaud @amisdelaterre.org / FoE France

"The #CorporateLobby present here as 'business associations' are a threat to the treaty and to human rights. For the #BindingTreaty to become an instrument of justice, the process must be free from corporate influence, as this room should be." -Pierre Maison @viacampesina.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

⚡PRESS RELEASE Human rights violations by corporations and their complicity in genocide take centre stage at the United Nations #BindingTreaty negotiations on transnational corporations and human rights open following mass demo in support of Palestine www.stopcorporateimpunity.org/press-releas...

"We need a #BindingTreaty that reaffirms the primacy of human rights over trade & investment. Affected communities and social movements have been denouncing corporate crimes for decades. It's time to put an end to corporate impunity. The struggle continues." - Dipti Bhatnagar JA! / FoE Mozambique

"With the global rush for critical and transition minerals, my people are being sacrificed in the name of the Global North’s green transition. I urge states, especially those of the Global South, to push for a strong #BindingTreaty. Your people are counting on you." - Maxine Bezuidenhout, AIDC

"The EU took the floor to lecture the world about rights and democracy while on a ruthless deregulation campaign, promoting trade agreements that only serve corporate interests. Stop siding with corporate lobbies and secure a strong #BindingTreaty." Sol Trumbo Vila @tninstitute.bsky.social

Europe bans toxic pesticides… then exports 120,000 tons abroad. This week, we send Picoxystrobin back to the EU Commission: banned since 2017 for its severe ecological & health risks, it's the 4th most exported banned substance from Europe to the rest of the world. Let's #StopToxicTrade together!

🚨Last day today!! Help us send a quick and clear message to the European Commission: #ProtectMyPlate 🍽️ 👇

We knew it would be bad 😐 The EPP's strong-arming worked, the bad compromise has passed, and with it any hope that corporate accountability might have been saved by the resistance of other MEPs 😑 Now it's on to the plenary next Thursday. Keeping our eyes peeled 👀 #CSDDD

On #GlobalFertilizerDay 💀, here's our reminder of the day: When fertilizer corporations talk about “feeding the world,” they rarely mention the nitrogen pollution left behind. From dead zones in oceans to toxic air near farms, the damage is real. A healthy food system can't be built on poison.

⌛ Only a few days left to say #ProtectMyPlate to the European Commission! Every voice counts. Let’s defend what we've built collectively👇

Proud to be part of this great network that has been campaigning for trade that works for people and planet for 25 years. And that will continue to bring the spirit of resistance into European trade policy 🫶

Three letters. One message. 🎥 Watch “Return to Sender”, our message to President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu : If they’re too dangerous for us, they’re too dangerous for anyone. #Mancozeb #StopToxicExport #EndDoubleStandards

🍽️ Food concerns everyone, so do the rules that protect it. If the EU rolls back food & pesticide laws, we all lose: our health, nature, clean water We built these protections together over time. We have 7 days to defend them. Join us in saying #ProtectMyPlate 👉 friendsoftheearth.eu/news/raise-y...

❌ Our Planet and Our Rights are NOT FOR SALE! 💪 We took the streets of Brussels today, together with thousands of people at #ClimateMarch! ➡️ We demand the EU to step up on climate ambition and claim back the global leadership it was once known for!
