Reminder to people in #Europe and #Canada that there are a lot of #transgender and #disabled people in the US who could use your help right now. There are a few #charities which are going to need some heavy funding over the next couple years (the Trevor Project and ACLU come to mind), and we also have a #MutualAid hashtag right here on Fedi. Please also consider that servers in the US, like this one, are talking about relocating to a safer country, which may change our financials.

If, per chance, you'd like to help a particular transgender disabled moderator who may need to relocate in the next year, my KoFi is at...

"Forst said that across #Europe the response to peaceful environmental protest was to repress rather than to enable and protect.

He said he had recorded countless examples of #PoliceBrutality.

October 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the EU border guard agency Frontex. For these 20 long years it has spread death and insecurity. We count and mourn more than 60,620 deaths caused by the EU border regime since 1993. Frontex is a key actor in the war against people on the move and a symbol for its certain failure…

Stop #GEAS
"Seit 2014 sind rund 30.000 Menschen auf ihrer Flucht nach Europa im #Mittelmeer ertrunken. Am 8.Juni haben die EU-Innenminster*innen beschlossen, mit der Reform des Gemeinsamen Europäischen #Asylsystems (GEAS) Unmenschlichkeit und menschenrechtsverletzende Praktiken an den Außengrenzen der EU zu ratifizieren. Statt einer Asylpolitik die den oftmals schwer traumatisierten verfolgten Geflüchteten gerecht wird setzt die #EU auf Lager in denen Menschen monatelang unter haftähnlichen Bedingungen eingesperrt werden. Dort sollen sie in einem Schnellverfahren abgefertigt und in vermeitlich sicherer Drittstaaten abgeschoben werden.

Zahlreiche Menschenrechtsorganisationen kritisieren die GEAS aufs Schärfste. Auch wir prangern die menschenrechtsverachtende Politik an. Sie macht jede Abgrenzung der Ampelparteien zu Rechtsextremen zur Heuchelei. Diese Reform ist eine Eskalation der rassistischen und staatlich legitimierten Gewalt gegen Geflüchtete! Darum folgt nun von uns eine Eskalation unserer Methoden.
(...)
Weil Menschen ungehört sterben und ihr dabei schweigt,müssen jetzt Scheiben splittern weil ihr nur dann schreit!"

Peaceful protest is a powerful and public way for people to make their voices heard. It has long been a vital means for advancing human rights. However, in #Europe, the right of peaceful assembly is increasingly coming under attack. This report documents an array of trends and patterns of #humanRights violations that curtail this right, and contains detailed recommendations for states to ensure that everyone’s right to protest is protected, respected and fulfilled.
