As the EU plans deepen its abusive migration control with Libya, notably in the east, 30 civil society organizations including @amnesty.org call on the @ec.europa.eu and EU member states to urgently change course and end this shameful cooperation.

The 🇪🇺 new anti-racism strategy? A missed opportunity to confront the structural violence lived by racialised communities. A flawed strategy that fails to protect is not a strategy at all. Our Policy Manager Julie Pascoet explains why in @euobserver.com 👉🏽 euobserver.com/migration/ar...

🚨The EU’s new “Return Regulation” is really a Deportation Regulation. It expands detention, weakens safeguards & creates profit for private contractors – at the expense of people’s dignity & communities. Over 200 organisations say: Reject it. @ec.europa.eu @europarl.europa.eu @eu2025dk.bsky.social

At #SOTEU2025 we heard borders, defence & profit. On human rights & anti-racism? Silence. 🤐 These priorities fuel more violence & marginalisation of racialised communities. The new #EUAntiRacismStrategy 2026-2030 must deliver impact with accountability and cooperation with grassroots movements.✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾

🟣 On Monday ENAR's co-coordinator Julie Pascoet, Vice-chair Dr Toyin Agbetu and Policy and Advocacy Advisor Dr Emmanuel Achiri met with Commissioner Hadja Lahbib to push forward a stronger, intersectional EU Anti-Racism Strategy.

May 1st came and went — but for racialised & migrant women holding up Europe’s care systems, what really changed? Care work remains invisibilised & exploited. It’s time to treat care as political — and fight for an anti-racist, feminist politics of care. Blog post👇 shorturl.at/fT9Lt

We call on MEPs to vote against the planned expansion of surveillance powers for #Europol Tuesday because it: ❌ fails to protect migrants or reduce border deaths. ❌ is a power grab by Europol. ❌ criminalises migrants & solidarity organisers. #ProtectNotSurveil: protectnotsurveil.eu

European Parliament LIBE votes on the #Europol reform report next week Tuesday, 20 May. MEPs 👏must 👏vote 👏against the expansion of Europol’s surveillance powers! Read & share the detailed #ProtectNotSurveil position paper now: ➡️ protectnotsurveil.eu

🌍 ENAR at the Regional Meeting in Berlin 🌍 Last week, we brought together our incredible members from 11 European countries for our annual Regional Meeting in Berlin! 🤝✨

On 25 April, Aboubakar Cissé was executed inside a mosque in southern France. The response? Silence. Denial. And when public pressure forced a minute of silence in Parliament, his death was still framed as an isolated act of hate — a lone extremist. 🧵

The throwback to Anti-racism and Diversity Week 2025 still continues! The recording of the panel discussions on "Building a civil society anti-racism strategy" and "From silence to accountability" are not available on youtube. Links can be found below!

📣 Together with 32 organisations, we co-signed a joint statement on the upcoming Rule of Law report by the European Commission. 📣 🧵

#Policy💬 ⚖️ The next @ec.europa.eu's #RuleOfLaw Report will be a key test of the new Commission’s ability to address the challenges to democratic institutions brought by the 2024 events. Explore the checklist for an effective report, made by a group of 32 expert organisations. 🧵

🎥 “This was not an isolated act of hatred—it was the result of systemic Islamophobia and Anti-Blackness.” Check out our interview in @trtespanol, where @nourhenemahmoudi.bsky.social examines the assassination of Aboubakar and reveals how Islamophobia and anti-Black racism are embedded in France.

‼️ Aboubakar Cissé was executed inside a mosque, in a country where anti-Blackness and Islamophobia are state-sponsored. ‼️

At the #ARDWeek press conference, — Vice-Chair of the ARDI Intergroup — raised a red flag 🔴 on the Commission’s withdrawal of the Equal Treatment Directive.

📢 EU legislation is increasingly being used to target and exclude migrants, under the guise of public policy or security. This is not just a policy issue—it’s a racial justice issue. We stand in solidarity with those calling for laws that protect, not punish, racialised and undocumented communities.

🎤 Last week, we joined our partners European Roma Grassroots Organisations (ERGO) Network at the European Network Against Racism Aisbl (ENAR) for #RomaWeek — a flagship event dedicated to spotlighting the ongoing structural challenges faced by Roma communities across Europe.

This Anti-Racism and Diversity Week, @amnesty.org, @enareurope.bsky.social, and 40+ organizations unite to urge EU leaders to take bold action against systemic racism and #ReimagineRacialJustice. Read the joint statement here👇

More powers to Europol to "fight migrant smuggling"? Today we join partners of the Protect not Surveil coalition in telling the EU why this is wrong and harmful.

I've been working in NGO comms in Brussels for over 6 years and I don't remember ever seeing the Editor-in-Chief of one of the biggest Brussels outlets mocking human rights groups because they denounce blatant Islamophobia. Solidarity to our friends @enareurope.bsky.social @amnestyeu.bsky.social.

@euractiv.com's Editor-in-Chief has turned the newsroom into his personal platform for Islamophobia – ignoring concerns from 30+ of his own journalists, @amnesty.org, and countless others. 📢 #Journalism #Islamophobia #AntiSemitism #EURACTIV

Journalism should expose racism, not spread it. 🛑 This week, @euractiv.com published a shockingly irresponsible opinion piece on Holocaust remembrance, scapegoating Muslim communities.‼️ www.euractiv.com/section/poli... #AntiSemitism #Islamophobia #Racism

People rely on smuggling because there are no better options. Cracking down on "smugglers" (often migrants themselves) doesn't create better options. Only safe and regular routes do. Great animation by @regulariseuk.bsky.social 🧡

Let's be clear. ‘Remigration’ is the far-right’s euphemism for systematic, racist cleansing. #Austria is mocking EU law, human dignity, and everything Europe claims to stand for. Racism in policy is still racism. #HumanRights #Migration #EU #Racism www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...
