Emmaus and European advocacy

Europe – a vital decision-making level for Emmaus’ work

European policy plays a pivotal role in the daily lives of each of us, directly influencing aspects such as labour rights, efforts to address precarity, health, production and environmental issues. For example, European law governs workers’ rights across Europe and migration policy, and directly affects our collection, sorting, reuse and recycling work, which are fundamental aspects of the Emmaus groups’ efforts.

Emmaus proposals for a Europe that regains hope

It is vital that the  MEPs understand the urgent need to stand shoulder to shoulder with the most deprived people, go further on climate issues, and support the work of our groups. To this end, Emmaus Europe has drawn up a number of proposals for the EU 2024-2029 legislative mandate in order to create a Europe of renewed hope:
