Each spring hundreds of thousands of seabirds, from puffins to gannets, return to the safety of the Firth of Forth islands to breed. Berwick Bank could kill thousands of them.

Please join us to call on SSE and First Minister John Swinney to #StopBerwickBank↙️

We’ve united with nature charities across Scotland call on the First Minister to stop #BerwickBank. If progressed it could be the deadliest windfarm for birds on the planet.

⚠️The writing's on the wall for Thames Water.
Government is stepping up plans for temporary nationalisation. It's starting to look inevitable.

MPs need to pledge that they will 'Make Thames Water Public' & fight against any discounted sell-off back to the private profiteers.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
