As long as our governments enable new oil & gas projects, they cannot claim to be acting in the public interest. Thankfully, our new govt is starting to grasp the urgency of a just transition away from fossil fuels. My thoughts in the Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Jane inspired fierce, yet systematic and thoughtful organising. Her legacy will live on in the struggles our affiliates are winning across the region, where we have been adapting her methods. Rest in Power Jane.

Week 307. Earlier this week, 10 environmental activists from the group Mother Nature Cambodia were sentenced to six to eight years in prison after peacefully protesting for clean water. This is yet another unacceptable example of the global trend where activists and land defenders are being criminalised and faced with ever increasing repression. The right to peaceful protest cannot be compromised. Activists continue to resist state repression and continuing to speak up for all of our rights, freedom and safety. But they need all the support they can get. We all need to raise our voices to #DefendTheDefenders I stand in solidarity with my friends in Mother Nature Cambodia and demand their immediate release, along with all political prisoners. #ActivismIsNotACrime #ClimateJusticeNow #ProtestIsNotACrime

If one includes both direct & indirect deaths from Israel's assault, the death toll in Gaza goes up to 186,000 people, according to the medical journal @TheLancet. That's 1 in every 12 Gaza inhabitants killed in the last 9 months of genocide.

Siempre en los momentos más tristes de la humanidad, la Humanidad reacciona. Esta es la Revolución mundial por la Vida; Libertad, igualdad y Fraternidad. Vivre La France.

Australian nurses paid 3X more tax than the gas industry in 2022. The gas myths need to end.
