XR Gravesham & Dartford

A new low . You see I read this differently . . . that without this infiltration and collusion at least one beautiful horse might still be alive . And I don’t want to believe that ‘The People’ want animals killed for their entertainment . Abjectly despicable ‘journalism’ @AnimalRising @LeagueACS

⁦ Very pleased to see Extinction Rebellion putting a message across in Gravesend today. For those who don’t know, he’s our Tory MP. Well done to all involved. Great use of a blue plaque outside the Con club ⁦@AdamHollowayMP⁩ ⁦@XRebellionUK⁩ ⁦@Feargal_Sharkey⁩

Four years ago, many members of the public said of Extinction Rebellion protests, ‘I agree with their cause just not their methods’. Well 4 years later the situation is worse than ever with emmissions continuing to rise. What do you suggest we do? #TheBigOne @XRebellionUK

THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO STOP FROM HAPPENING. Several horses fell during this race - how many will be killed due to their injuries? Absolutely heartbreaking chaos for horses that never got a choice in the matter. MAKE SURE THE GRAND NATIONAL NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. Sign our petition - this absolute disgrace of a "sport" should never, ever be allowed to continue. actionnetwork.org/petitions/canc… #AnimalJustice #CancelTheGrandNational

I'm incredibly scared about our future together on this overheating planet, folks. We have to figure out a way to pry power away from the sociopaths who are running the show and leading us deeper into disaster every day.

Apparently 400,000 people have seen this thread If even 1% of them take more action as a result, then that would be… 🤔 🙄 🤦‍♂️ ... quite a lot of people taking more action, and a wonderful thing What if another 400,000 saw it?
