Dankeschoen @AufstandLastGen

These protestors are not stupid They KNOW they are going to prison for this, but they are doing it anyway They're doing it to show that repression won't work, and the climate movement is not going away It's an act of incredible courage and heroism. THANK YOU!

NEW: High court blocks Cumbria coal mine! Approval for the UK's first deep coal mine in 30 years has been deemed unlawful after a legal challenge by @friends_earth and @slacctt. Great news to start the Global Day of Action to #EndFossilFuels!

The ridiculous idea of a 'carbon neutral' coal mine in Whitehaven has been rejected by the High Court! There is no such thing. Thank you to @slacctt and @friends_earth for appealing against Michael Gove's climate wrecking decision! #NoNewCoal #GreenJobsNow

All parents please watch this. Dr Larch Maxey - a father of two - is serving 3 years in prison for a nonviolent action targetting the UK’s biggest oil terminal. He knew he was at risk of being imprisoned and, back in 2019, he explained why he was prepared to take that risk.

BREAKING 🚨: The UK government has decided not to defend the case against Rosebank. This is a massive win and a huge step towards stopping Rosebank for good.

This is PRECISELY why we need as BIG a turn-out as possible in CARLISLE tomorrow! We stand together - or go down separately. .@CarlisleAgainst @LabourCopeland @PenandSolLabour @allerdalegreens @EdenGreenPR @XRSL4 @AntiFascistNetw @uaf @AntiRacismDay @AC_Resist @LeftUnityParty

@MikeBernersLee Important to note that the battle may not be over yet. Although the government are withdrawing their defence, West Cumbria Mining are apparently still intending to contest the @slacctt / @friends_earth appeal at the High Court this week.

Sense at long last. How was it ever possible not to take account of the emissions from burning the coal ?!? It took a conspiracy of warped and disingenuous arguments to keep this crazy mine plan going for so long. Thank SLACC and FOE for fighting it. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

GOOD NEWS: UK govt will NOT defend plans for new Cumbria coalmine as it admits approval by previous govt was UNLAWFUL. This is a HUGE win for Friends of the Earth and SLACC who have been FIGHTING this decision, let’s hope the court makes the RIGHT call next week

Thank you @laurensunfl0wer for your support and great words yesterday. As you said, if Horse Hill is rightfully considered unlawful, Rosebank is too. Good luck with your challenge. #StopRosebank

@WealdActionGr @friends_earth @GreenpeaceUK @XRebellionUK @StopCambo @CoalActionUK @SOS_NKelsey Brilliant news!! Thanks for all your efforts in achieving this. 🤞 it'll be good news for the fight against the Cumbrian coal mine too (High Court 16th-18th July)

OMG! 🎉WE WON! 🎉 WE WON, WE WON, WE WON, WE WON! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Details to follow shortly on: wealdactiongroup.org.uk/2024/06/horse-… #CountTheCarbon @friends_earth @GreenpeaceUK @XRebellionUK @StopCambo @CoalActionUK @SOS_NKelsey

@friends_earth Brilliant news. Well done all xxx

Fantastic News! Supreme Court rules that climate impact must be considered when granting planning permission. This bodes well for the @slacctt / @friends_earth challenge to the #Whitehaven coal mine (16th-18th July). There is no such thing as a "climate neutral coal mine"!

Hey @PoliceUg, Hey @GovUganda Where is Stephen Kwikiriza? #FreeStephenKwikiriza ! #StopEACOP

✈️ NO LUTON AIRPORT TOXIC EXPANSION A group of local residents and concerned citizens are demonstrating this weekend against airport expansion due to its effects on the environment, coinciding with the busy BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend Festival. #ExtinctionRebellion #XR_London

Was it the lovely weather, or are the vast majority of the public against the planned West #Cumbrian coal mine? Either way our banner drop near Brettargh Holt today was getting a LOT of supportive hoots & waves! Apologies to anyone out for a quiet country walk #NoTimeForACoalMine
