"Diversity is the one true strength

we all have in common.

Let's celebrate it every day."

~ Yvonne Apiyo Brändle-Amolo

We represent 105 million people and counting,

all around the globe.

LOVE FOR EVERYONE

“Each human being, however small or weak, has something to bring to humanity. As we start to really get to know others, as we begin to listen to each other’s stories, things begin to change. We begin the movement from exclusion to inclusion, from fear to trust, from closedness to openness, from judgment and prejudice to forgiveness and understanding.”

– Maya Angelou

Vision

We envision a world where people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences are respected, valued, and empowered. We strive to create a culture of belonging and collaboration within our group and across our institution. We seek to amplify the voices and perspectives of minority groups through leadership cultivation and economic empowerment, and civic engagement in our society.

Mission

We aim to promote equal opportunity and empowerment for minorities in public policy at all levels of our organisation and society. We seek to foster leadership development, influence policy, and educate the public. We also advocate for issues of concern to minority communities and to address the challenges and opportunities that affect our well-being.

Purpose

The members meet to congregate and advance ideas on achieving common legislative objectives to improve the lives of the minorities they represent. EMPC will have a legal identity and an employing authority with an effective way of bringing together European minority parliamentarians and interested stakeholders.

The Summit of the Future 2024 marked a pivotal moment for global cooperation, offering a unique opportunity to address critical challenges and bridge gaps in global governance. This event, recognised as a once-in-a-generation occasion, aimed to reaffirm existing commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nations Charter while charting a path towards a reinvigorated multilateral system capable of positively transforming people's lives globally. With growing members across Europe, the United States, and Africa, the Global Minority Parliamentarians Caucus (GMPC) emerged as a significant contributor, bringing diverse perspectives from minority communities across these continents to the table. The unique insights and experiences of the GMPC members shaped the Summit's discussions and outcomes, as they offered fresh ideas and innovative approaches for more effective global cooperation. By actively involving the GMPC, Member States can lay the groundwork for a truly inclusive and equitable future capable of addressing current challenges and emerging threats that may jeopardise our progress.
