🏠 Housing is a right, not a commodity! 💪 EU house prices +48%, rents +22% since 2010. Millions can’t afford homes or heat. ❄️ Let’s unite movements, unions & the left for public, democratic housing for all! ✊ #HousingForAll #LeftUnity @retaguardiaroja

Check out our Feminist Assembly video where we expose how militarism and austerity hit women hardest, and affirm that feminism means peace, justice, and public investment, not war. ✊

The choice is clear as day: Trump and Musk for Cuomo vs. our campaign for change.

Stop the excuses! Austerity isn’t the answer — make the rich pay! No to war, no to rearmament — build peace! At the European Forum, the message is clear: End austerity, build peace! #BuildTheAlternative

The European Forum has ended, but the fight to #BuildTheAlternative goes on! 🌍 We shared ideas, solidarity & strategies for peace, social justice & an ecological Europe. 🌿✊ Relive the moments on Flickr ⬇️ https://t.co/9l4UdRgBn8

The European Forum is coming to an end, but the fight to #BuildTheAlternative goes on! We leave you with the final declaration (see in the comments) and plenty of inspiration and ideas to organise for peace, social justice, and ecological transition in Europe.

@SFamellos : "The importance of the European Forum is greater than ever. We must safeguard and reinforce it as a major tool to enhance this necessary dialogue among progressive forces and to promote common initiatives for an alternative strategy for Europe".

@bmoxnes : "The Red Party Norway fights for working people, by taxing the rich to fund welfare, securing strong labour rights, affordable housing, and energy for all. We oppose imperialism, demand peace, and reject a world dictated by nuclear arms and foreign dependence."

@Helenebidard : "Leftist convergences mean politics for the working class: fair taxation, protected pensions, and massive investment in public services. It means independent politics for peace and diplomacy, because wars are not inevitable, they are political choices."

Magne Kaldhusdal, Red Party (Norway)“To forge a majority for peace, the Left must reject all hegemonies — American, Russian, or otherwise — and stand for a Europe that defends itself through justice, equality, and independence.”

Conny Hildebrandt, transform! europe: “In a world arming itself for destruction, we must arm ourselves with solidarity. The true defence of society lies in the hands of those who fight together — for rights, for work, for peace, and for the planet.”

Plenary on Convergences to Forge a Social and Political Anti-Austerity Majority. How can progressive, green and left forces across Europe converge to challenge austerity policies, building majorities that prioritizes people and the planet over profit? #BuildTheAlternative

“It’s essential to understand and analyse the social movements where youth have played a fundamental role — ignoring them would condemn us to defeat,” said Daniel Serra (Youth of IU).

“The Left doesn’t fail because the world is unchangeable, but because its forms of organisation no longer bridge what is and what could be. Rebuilding that capacity through organised practice is key to any future socialist politics,” said Lukas Zwerina (Junge Linke, Austria).

Jana Rainer (Junge Linke, Austria) opened the workshop with an analysis of the relationship between parties and movements. How to rebuild it so movements don’t fade, and parties reconnect with grassroots struggles?

🔥 Powerful and thought-provoking workshop by ELYN! Nothing to Win: Left Organizations and Social Movements. Young activists come together to tackle a crucial question: How can we rebuild the relationship between movements and parties in a post-industrial, depoliticised world?

Happening now: Workshop "Who or what is threatening European democracies?". Progressive elected representatives discuss the challenges facing European democracy. With @Helenebidard - PCF, @merlin_leonard - PTB, Helmut Scholtz - Die Linke and Carina Karner - KPOE.

Christoph Hail, KPOE: “The public and cooperative housing sector must be strengthened to ensure that housing is not a privilege, but a meaningful right. This means guaranteeing affordable rents, housing solutions for diverse needs, environmentally sustainable constructions”.

As young people, we want to stop being called the “generation of the future.” We’ll start thinking about our future when we can stop fighting just to survive in the present.
