  • Why Von der Leyen’s New Commission Risks Putting Competitiveness Before People  

    While Social Platform is pleased to see some of our vision for a more social Europe realised, barriers to social progress still threaten to overshadow these wins.  

  • 80+ MEPs commit to our #OvertheLine pledge

    It's time to bring everyone over the poverty line and take stronger action to eradicate poverty.

    Our campaign pledge asks MEPs to support fairer, adequate minimum income schemes for all.

  • 2024-2029 Our Vision for a Social Europe

    Europe needs a renewed commitment to social progress, where everyone’s social rights are recognised and vindicated. This requires prioritising social policy and putting people first, where initiatives that champion eradicating poverty, promoting progress and building inclusive societies are top of the policy agenda.

About Social Platform

We have strength in numbers and put power back into people’s hands who want a more Social Europe. Collectively, we unite tens of thousands of organisations and hundreds of millions of people in Europe – children, young and older people, women, LGBTI people, people with disabilities, undocumented migrants, Roma and others from persecuted ethnic or religious backgrounds, carers and the people that provide invaluable services to these people.

A social Europe that works for all

We believe that everyone deserves to live a life in dignity, where it’s possible to thrive – not just survive. Guided by the principals of the European Pillar of Social Rights we bring a social rights perspective to everything that we do – advocating for societies that are fair, inclusive and future-proof.

Sustainable future for all

We want to build a greener future where people and communities from all backgrounds can benefit and thrive. Social Platform advocates for better social, economic and climate policies that leave no one behind.

Social justice for all

Everyone deserves a life free from poverty and social exclusion. We strive for fair living and working conditions across Europe, supporting those in vulnerable situations and empowering people to live in dignity.

Inclusion for all

Our democracies are strongest when everyone is heard and included. We champion the role of civil society in amplifying underrepresented voices and representing their needs and interests in decision making.
