Our Response and Demands to Fight COVID-19
We must fight the #CoronaCrisis without leaving anyone behind.
This crisis shows us the value of a social Europe & we will continue fighting for it during & after this pandemic.
This is not a Chinese, Italian, or Iranian problem, but a global one we can overcome together. Read our 10 demands during the crisis to support global and European efforts against #COVID19
A quick and widespread introduction of a universal basic income stimulus.
Freeze all evictions, all residential rents. Provide a safe home for the homeless.
Freeze all loan and debt payments.
Ban the firing of people, acknowledge that supermarket employees and delivery workers are providing vital services, and ensure their safety at work.
We denounce the war-like rhetoric used by Heads of State, unilateral introduction of internal borders, and Schengen borders.
Border measures should not affect the right to asylum, right to family reunification or family life.
The EU and its Member States should start a formal cooperation for use of national and EU funds, medical resources, treatment of patients. This solidarity should be extended to all the accession and neighbouring countries of the EU.
This pandemic is a global crisis. Denounce all forms of xenophobia and racism immediately. The EU must be ready to provide international support when the COVID-19 crisis reaches poorer countries.
Address the intersectionality of the crisis: women*, people with disabilities, undocumented, migrants, poor, LGBTQI+, people of color, and racialised communities are always left behind in times of crisis and governments must ensure measures that vulnerable communities are the first with access to resources.
We should ensure that the investments during and after the crisis do not contribute to environmental destruction and we should stick to the plan of demanding a real #ClimateLaw.
