💌 The European Parliament is getting ready to vote on a new law that threatens those of us who help others in need. Let's stop this. The draft Facilitation Directive is meant to counter migrant smuggling, but it leaves the door open to the criminalisation of solidarity with people in an irregular situation. Over the last months, we have joined forces with other NGOs and ice-cream company Ben and Jerry's to raise awareness about this law and its impact on people. As the European Parliament's civil liberties committee gets ready to vote on this draft law, you can tell those in charge to exempt solidarity from criminalisation and protect our right to help. How? Ben and Jerry's have put together email forms which you can send to the MEPs responsible for this file. Simply click on the links under the MEPs you want to email.

Let's make our voices heard.
