Nearly 1 in 4 persons is in or at risk of poverty and/or social exclusion in the EU.
Member States must respect their commitments and allocate the necessary funds to the fight against poverty.
ACT NOW – SIGN THE PETITION!
As concerned citizens, we call on Presidents and Prime Ministers of EU Member States to respect the commitment they made when agreeing the EU poverty−reduction target! We urge them to invest EU Money for poverty reduction now by:
- Allocating at least 25% of the Cohesion Policy budget to the European Social Fund (ESF)
- Earmarking at least 20% of the European Social Fund to poverty reduction and social inclusion.
