The Good Lobby

The Good Lobby The Good Lobby is a non-profit civic start-up committed to equalising access to power for a more plural, inclusive and democratic society.

We believe that every citizen can make a difference in their community. To this end, we inspire, train and help citizens to influence major policy decisions, hold their political representatives accountable and share with them new solutions. In so doing, we build unconventional collaborations and alliances with and among NGOs, progressive companies, consultancies, and philanthropies. In other word

s, we help citizens and other organisations to set up ‘good lobbies’, enabling them to balance the undue influence of special interest groups. For this purpose, The Good Lobby popularises and democratises the various channels of participatory democracy existing at local, national and EU level. By embracing lobbying, everyone can gain a seat at the table and make their political system more responsive to societal needs. It’s time to get heard wherever you are and change society for the better, through many more voices.

🔎 What does it take to hold power accountable in Europe?

In 2025, The Good Lobby Profs challenged Hungary's transparency law, intervened in a landmark case on judicial independence (MEDEL), pushed for answers on the Várhelyi spying allegations, held Slovakia to account for democratic backsliding, and corrected the record on the EU's Digital Markets Act before the US Congress - often alongside partners like you.

🇪🇺 👥 European citizenship comes with rights, but can everyone access them?

The European Commission has officially registered “All On Board”, a new European Citizens’ Initiative calling for more inclusive access to European citizenship.

🎓 The goal? Make citizenship more accessible through education, mobility and recognition of qualifications. Now the campaign has one year to reach 1 million signatures.

📲How old should you be to open a social media account? Depends which EU country you live in.

Social media restrictions are spreading across Europe - and an EU-wide restriction may soon be on the table.
Our map shows the patchwork already emerging: a fragmented landscape where children risk very different levels of protection depending on their postcode.

🧒Child safety online shouldn't be a lottery of geography. It's time for a coordinated EU approach.

💡 Our survival guide breaks down 10 tactics for advocacy that actually moves the needle.

➡️ Are you still bringing the best argument to the table, or the most strategic one? In Brussels today, that's no longer the same thing.

Civil society faces a harder game: NGOs treated as threats, funding squeezed, doors closing. Surviving means trading old assumptions for sharper tactics.

📱 How many American digital services have you used today?

Probably more than you think.

From cloud computing and email to AI assistants and online payments, much of Europe's digital life still relies on technology developed outside the EU.

🇪🇺 Yet, European alternatives already exist across cloud services, search, payments and AI, but most of us still default to US platforms. Why? And what would it take for European alternatives to compete?

👀 Are the EU's Omnibus proposals really about cutting red tape or about cutting protections for people and the planet?

Today, 7 July (16:30 CET), TheGoodLobby presents the findings of a major new report. Join us to learn the EU deregulation's state of play, with:

🎙 Caroline François Marsal (Réseau Action Climat) on the institutional and political dynamics driving the EU's deregulatory push 🎙 Andy Battentier (Générations Futures) on what unlimited pesticide authorisations mean for public health 🎙 Justine Ripoll (Notre Affaire à Tous) on the dismantling of corporate accountability rules under Omnibus I 🎙 Bastien Gebel (T&E) on what slowing electrification really costs.

Moderated by Prof. Alberto Alemanno, founder of The Good Lobby's Deregulation Monitor.

22 rollbacks already adopted. 34 more at risk. The next few months are decisive.

👀 Did you know that properly applied EU environmental law could save €180 billion per year in health and environmental costs - nearly five times more than the savings claimed from the Omnibus packages currently dismantling it?

Deregulation isn't simplification. It's a cost - one paid in public health, biodiversity loss, and accelerating climate breakdown.

A new report by Réseau Action Climat and eight civil society organisations maps exactly what's been lost and what's still at stake. On 7 July at 16:30 CET, The Good Lobby presents the findings in a free one-hour webinar.

👀 What if "simplification" is just a word for making it easier to pollute?

Since 2024, the EU has quietly adopted 22 rollbacks of environmental and health protections - with 34 more in the pipeline. From pesticide authorisations to corporate accountability rules to car emissions standards, decades of hard-won legislation are being unpicked at speed.

🗓️ On 7 July at 16:30 CET, The Good Lobby is hosting a free webinar presenting the findings of a major new report by Réseau Action Climat and eight partner organisations - with the researchers and advocates who know these dossiers best.

If your organisation is working to hold the EU to its environmental commitments, this is the session you need before the summer recess.
