Today we helped deliver over 700K signatures to Rachel Reeves at the Treasury, calling for higher taxes on the super-rich in her upcoming #UKBudget.

We joined forces with partners to send a clear message: TAX THE SUPER-RICH 💰

Time for Rachel Reeves to pick a side: billionaires or ordinary people?

🚨BREAKING: Activists have imprisoned DANGEROUS TERRORISTS Mandela, Gandhi, and Millicent Fawcett statues in Parliament Square.

They've been placed behind bars to expose the UK's extreme crackdown on protest.

The heroes the government celebrates would be imprisoned today under their extreme laws.

Our heartfelt congratulations to the State of Palestine on ratifying the Global Ocean Treaty. ⁣

In the face of genocide, famine and suffering, this decision to stand for our shared planet and ocean is a powerful act of courage & solidarity. ⁣

💩 Wall Street just got a whiff of reality.

JBS’ inclusion in major US stock indexes means our money is linked to deforestation and climate chaos. The world needs to know what JBS really stands for: Just. Bull. Sh*t.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Did you know the Amazon rainforest is larger than the European Union?

She is home to over 27 million people, and one of the most biodiverse places in the world, with over 400 BILLION trees, and millions of species, many that haven’t even been discovered yet.

🌍 Steve Reed wanted the Climate & Nature Bill to proceed. Ed Miliband promised to work on the #CANBill's objectives. Mary Creagh pledged to deliver “binding nature commitments”.

🚨 Labour Ministers are speaking out.

⏳ What’s the delay for new, joined-up, science-led climate and nature legislation?
