*[Enwl-eng] Vote against the power grab on rights

[ecology]

                        The EU is about to dismantle its strongest climate and human rights protections.

                        With the “Omnibus” law, polluters and their profits will be put over people and the planet.

                        But the vote hasn’t happened yet – and we can put a stick in their decision wheels!

                        Call on Members of the European Parliament: Reject the Omnibus law! 

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            EU leaders are about to roll back hard-won protections for human rights and the environment. 

            The “Omnibus proposal” is the first in a series of deregulation bills designed to weaken EU rules on deforestation, fossil fuels, and greenwashing. 

            If it passes, corporations will be freer than ever to destroy forests, pump in dirty energy, and mislead us about their climate record. And once this door is opened, more rollbacks will follow.

            But here’s the good news: the European Parliament hasn’t voted yet. MEPs still have the power to stop this—and they will act if we show them that rolling back protections is politically toxic.

            Tell MEPs: Reject the Omnibus law!

            The people want better protections for the planet and better accountability for corporations – public opinion polls show. And the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) does exactly that – it makes companies responsible for preventing human rights abuses and environmental harm throughout their global supply chains by making them legally liable if they fail to implement sustainable business practices.

            Lobbyists argue that deregulation will free business from bureaucratic hell and extra costs. But the truth is, cutting these laws means more human rights violations, more deforestation, and more climate chaos — while responsible businesses are left at a disadvantage. The Omnibus isn’t about creating less hassle; it’s about letting polluters off the hook.

            Our community has fought and won against corporate lobbyists before — from stopping toxic trade deals to securing bans on single-use plastics, and even the CSDDD. Together, we can protect Europe’s hard-won regulations and stop this dangerous rollback in its tracks.

            Tell MEPs: Reject the Omnibus law.
