The Rules to Protect Coalition is a broad and diverse pan-European coalition demanding a fair and just society, in which EU and national lawmakers protect and promote the rights enshrined in the EU Charter and international human rights law.

Our umbrella unites national and EU-wide trade unions, climate and environmental groups, digital rights groups, corporate accountability and financial justice organisations, civic and democracy groups, social rights advocates and many more.
