Our Campaigns
European Alternatives is a citizen-run organisation, helping to take forwards issues our community finds of importance to build a Europe of justice, democracy, and solidarity. Our campaigns are increasingly decided by the European Alternatives community, and we look forwards to sending out a poll on campaigning priorities toall members of our community very shortly.

Current Campaigns
The right to free movement across the continent and to move across the Schengen area without border controls are two of the foundations of European citizenship. They are amongst the most popular European achievements and the most widely recognised. We refuse that these rights should be put in question by some of the most influential politicians in Europe.
We believe the European Union should take an active stance in guaranteeing no member state violates the right to an impartial and pluralistic media free of political pressures, a right sanctioned by the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.
We are currently setting up a European Initiative for Media Pluralism to take forwards a transnational campaign demanding a much greater role for Europen institutions in safeguarding the right to a free and plural media throughout Europe.
Past Campaigns
Condemn the Roma expulsion
We circulated a Europe-wide petition condemning the expulsions of Roma from France and demanding the European authorities take a strong stance against violations of fundamental rights and the principle of non-discrimination in Europe. We stressed that if violations of the rights of Roma go unanswered, it is the rights of all Europeans that risk being trampled over. The European Commissions opened proceedings against France for violation of the treaty on free movement in Europe.
Media Freedom in Italy
We carried out a campaign to demand a European response on the increasingly worrying situation of the media in Italy, making the point that this is a European and not only Italian problem. We held press conferences in the European Parliament, published a letter signed by numerous MEPs on national newspapers such as The Guardian and La Repubblica, participated in drafting a European Parliament resolution condemning violation of media freedom in Italy, narrowly defeated by three votes.
