Over the Line: campaign for adequate minimum income

Skyrocketing prices, unaffordable bills and lack of access to support services mean that people are at risk of falling into poverty. Across the EU national safety nets are not providing enough protection, meaning that those who need support are being let down and left behind. We estimate that 0/27 EU minimum income schemes provide enough support to lift people over the poverty line. We want to change that! Find out more about the Over the Line campaign.

Civil Society for EU: unlock the potential of EU democracy!

Ahead of the 2024 EU elections, we call on future EU leaders and representatives to fully unlock this potential by better recognising, supporting and engaging with civil society, so that we can meaningfully contribute to a better Europe.
