Corporate lobbying is heating up on the digital omnibus - a Commission proposal that'd axe our digital rights 🪓

Last week lobby groups published a letter calling for "meaningful deregulation".

🧐 But what seems like a letter from European industry, actually has Big Tech fingerprints all over it.

Ever heard of cheesing?* 🧀

It's the perfect way to describe the game that's played by decisionmakers to destroy environmental & human rights protections:

1. Cheap tricks
2. Unfair
3. Overly easy

Watch & let us know who you nominate for BIGGEST cheese⁉️

🚨From agriculture to energy, mining to chemicals - powerful industry lobbies are trying to weaken the Water Framework Directive, vital EU rules to protect water.

That means more pollution, less resilience, and risks to our health. All for short-term gains of a small few.

"Communities Stand for the Rights of Nature: From Ecuador to Ireland and the Balkans to Brazil, Grassroots Voices Unite in Belém"

Read the full statement: yestolifenotomining.org/latest-news/...

@garnglobal.bsky.social @earththrive.bsky.social
Communities Stand for the Rights of Nature From Ecuador to Ireland and the Balkans to Brazil, Grassroots Voices Unite in Belém Yes to Life No to Mining logo “In Serbia, we have been running three complaints to the Bern Convention to protect the Valley of River Jadar, Homolje Mountains and Nature in Bosilegrad region from destructive mining. The complaints are grounded in Rights of Nature resulting in one o project being stopped. Rights of Nature is a genuine environmental and climate solution, and we trust that enshrining them into the national and international frameworks will contribute to long-term fair and just relations between humans and Nature for the benefit of all." - Mirko Nikolić from Earth Thrive, Balkan Centre for the Rights of Nature and Yes to Life No to Mining (YLNM) member "“Ecuador is days away from a constitutional crisis. On November 16, we Ecuadorians will vote whether or not to give the government of Daniel Noboa the chance to shred our constitution—a global precedent setter in Indigenous, Collective, and Nature Rights—to replace it with a vaguely written advertisement for international mining companies to turn some of Earth’s most mega-diverse remaining forests into catastrophic mining camps.” - Jose Cueva, Environmental and Social Observatory of Northern Ecuador, (OMASNE), the National Anti-Mining Front & YLNM Member "We don’t defend Nature because it’s useful to us. We defend Nature because we are part of it.” - Lynda Sullivan, Co-coordinator, Ireland Logo Yes to Life No to Mining Mining extractivism is entirely based on violating the Rights of Nature, killing living beings and their webs of life. There cannot be a just transformation out of this destructive system without a full recognition of all living beings' rights to live free from human caused harm. No one is free until everyone is free! Yes to Life No to Mining shares stories of resistance to extractive destruction, where post-extractive futures are imagined and lived. From Nigeria to the Philippines, from Papua New Guinea to Ecuador, a life-sustaining world is possible.
