Robin BoardmanGet ready with me for the European Parliament! 👨🏻‍⚖️🗳️👩🏾‍⚖️<br> <br> How do we protect our rights as repression increases across Europe?<br> <br> From Hungary to the UK, defenders of democracy are being surveilled, arrested, or silenced. My friends have been imprisoned for up to 5 years for organising peaceful protest . But we’re not backing down.<br> <br> I'm here with the European Civic Forum to launch a major report on civic freedoms and join a debate with policymakers, activists and MEPs on what real protection for civil society could look like — including early warning systems, new legal shields, and solidarity hubs.<br> <br> 🗣️ I want to bring your voice into the room.<br> <br> 👉 What threats have you faced as an activist or organiser?<br> 👉 What support do you wish existed?<br> 👉 What would real protection mean to you?<br> <br> Comment, DM, or email me — I’ll share what I can (anonymously if needed) in the debate. Let’s make sure the voices of grassroots defenders are heard at the top.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/CivicSpace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CivicSpace</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/HumanRights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Democracy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Democracy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ExtinctionRebellion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExtinctionRebellion</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/CivilSociety?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CivilSociety</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Net4Defenders?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Net4Defenders</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Rev21?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rev21</a>
