New research shows that ocean acidification has now crossed the planetary boundary. That's 7 of 9 boundaries crossed. Capitalism is driving ecological catastrophe and will continue to do so until we align production to a new law of value.

⚖️ We find it UNACCEPTABLE that representatives of harmful dirty industries have unbothered access to European institutions. That is why we put the Commission’s president, Ursula von der Leyen, and the complicit lobbies on trial.

✊PEOPLE OVER LOBBIES

Interest groups play a significant role in shaping political decisions. This is particularly visible within the #European institutions, where #lobbyists representing harmful #industries continue to enjoy disproportionate access to decision-makers’ offices.

🇪🇺 The European Commission still maintains close ties with an industry that’s complicit in the destruction of the living world and undermining a liveable future for all.
