Friends in TX, head to Dallas tomorrow if you're able and join the fight for the freedom to organize and resist.

Leonard Peltier: “But I’m free. They didn’t break me.” After nearly 50 years behind bars, Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier returned home today. Indigenous activists from @ndncollective and residents of Belcourt, North Dakota, gathered to celebrate his freedom after the decades of injustice he endured.

While the overall US incarceration rate is falling, the women’s rate remains at a historic high – the highest in the world, in fact. Women can’t get left behind in the effort to end mass incarceration.

The future of free speech and our ability to fight for climate justice is on the line in what promises to be an epic battle… of wits. Trial is set to start February 24 in North Dakota. 🧵 #PrincessBride #AsYouWish #TrueLove #Inconceivable #WeWillNotBeSilenced

The US has a dark history of incredibly long prison sentences. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here's how you can hold your lawmakers accountable in 2025 for high-impact criminal justice reform 👇 prisonpolicy.org/reports/winnab…

@greenpeaceusa This report identified SLAPPs in 41 countries across Europe too, including Italy, Greece, Netherlands, Poland, UK, and Ukraine. "Corporate interests have filed lawsuits against individuals and groups who advocate for environmental and climate protection." desmog.com/2024/12/17/new…

We held a rally in Dallas to show Trump and Big Oil that we won’t be silenced by SLAPP suits and anti-protest laws. You can join us ➡️ GreenpeaceOnTrial.org #Dallas #Texas #ImWithGreenpeace #StopDrillingStartPaying

@greenpeaceusa "The company behind the Dakota Access pipeline [@EnergyTransfer] is suing Greenpeace for $300 million related to the 2016-17 Standing Rock protests...it could create a new legal precedent that would have major ramifications for environmental groups" motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

Thousands from Napo, Ecuador continue to fight against a plan to build a new prison in the Amazon. They have a clear message for President Daniel Noboa, “We will fight tooth & nail to defend our territory!” No prisons in the Amazon! Solidarity! ❤️✊🏿💥📸:@LancerosDigital

Join us in urging the administration to SHUTDOWN the Dakota Access Pipeline and stand in solidarity with the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Let’s call on @POTUS and @USACEHQ to halt the pipeline and protect our precious water resources for future generations! #ShutdownDAPL #IndigenousSovereignty

Hope to see our TX folks out at the demo tomorrow in Dallas. Details: mobilize.us/greenpeace/eve…

Keeping Leonard Peltier in prison continues the legacy of silencing Indigenous voices and repressing Indigenous-led movements. But @POTUS has the ability to grant him clemency.

📍👀YOU ARE INVITED!!!🗺🧐 Join us for a teach-in on how to use our Toxic Prisons Mapping Tool mapping the environmental hazards that prisons, jails, and detention centers face from extreme heat, air pollution, flooding, wildfires and more. Sign up here- bit.ly/toxicprisons-t…!

The proposed strategy, inspired by abolitionist groups like @FightXPrisons, is to use "the legal and political tactics that blocked tar sands pipelines and new coal-fired power plants to challenge the construction...of detention centers, camps, and militarized sites." 3/3

It's becoming clearer with every nomination that resisting Trump means building a movement of solidarity against authoritarianism. A new @CommonDreams article makes the case for climate activists to fight hard alongside immigrants and refugees... 🧵 1/3 commondreams.org/opinion/climat…

Outside of the inhumane treatment and psychological terror from being intentionally left in a locked boxes in emergency evacuation zones -- JLS has received no death reports or rumors of deaths from inside the locations we are in touch with

As many as 28,000 incarcerated people were in mandatory evacuation zones for Hurricane Milton, but many officials reportedly refused to evacuate them. We speak to an organizer with @FightXPrisons about how natural disasters impact the incarcerated.

🌪️ Update from inside: We’re currently on lockdown as Hurricane Milton barrels down on us here in Florida. Conditions are tense, support is limited. No one is talking, you can feel the fear. Praying for safety for all inside and out there. We won’t be silenced. #HurricaneMilton

The low security guys brought here don't understand why they were brought to a maximum prison and locked down in a deadly storm with us? 😪 #HurricaneMilton
