Civil society plays a key role in our democracies. We promote and protect fundamental rights, we ensure underrepresented voices are heard, and we support governments and institutions to respond to people needs. Yet, we face an increasing list of barriers that limit our potential.
We call on EU leaders and representatives to fully unlock this potential by better recognising, supporting and engaging with civil society, so that we can meaningfully contribute to a better Europe. Find out how Civil Society for EU plans to make this change a reality!
Space for civil society is shrinking all over Europe: restrictive laws, administrative barriers and threats make it hard for civil society actors to unlock their potential.
It is essential that the EU commits to reversing these damaging trends during the next five years and opens up more opportunities for civil society to bring people’s voices into policymaking.
We are calling on all elected MEPs to recognise the true value of civil society and to commit to safeguarding its space in Europe.

Civil society is integrated everywhere in
