AJPP and unemployment: our mobilization leads to the Ministry of Solidarity

The associations Eva pour la vie, LEA and a collective of parents, " Mobilization AJPP " mobilized together with the support of the Federation Growing Up Without Cancer .

During September, Eva pour la vie obtained an RV, with the support of deputy Paul Christophe, at the Ministry of Solidarity, who agreed with us.
