The Bristol Cable is a co-op, 100% locally-owned publication and we're very proud to be developing new ways to help them connect with their community away from Big Tech.

"It's possible to reverse our way out of loss and extinction; there’s nothing inevitable about it. To stay silent in the face of it is, in the end, an active choice. Hope feels like an indulgence we can no longer afford; what’s needed is people coming together to act"

There’s nothing inevitable about extinction. It’s possible to reverse our way out

Success stories including the leaf-toed gecko in the Galápagos, the wood white butterfuly in Wales and the corncrake in Ireland give hope

Experts feared it would take 193 years to reduce London's deadly levels of NO₂ air pollution to legal levels.

This week Mayor Sadiq Khan announced his team had defied the howls of pro-fossil fuel and motoring lobbyists to achieve the life-saving target in just 9 YEARS.

Here's how they did it 🧵

For #WorldNewsDay we transformed the outside of the BBC with climate photographs and placards.

Now. Can the BBC be transformed with people-powered ownership?

The headline is: we need media that serves the planet and people not power.

Would there be less division in society if hate speech wasn’t always in the headlines?

Free speech is being hijacked to sow division.

We need a #MediaRevolution for free speech.

“Writing has given me a voice… it helps others in my community know they are not alone.” Christine - South Sudan

When displaced people have a platform, the narrative changes from hate to humanity.

We need a #MediaRevolution for migrants.

These two evil old billionaires are using a secret brainwashing weapon on you.

It’s called Pluralistic Ignorance

Rupert Murdoch and Viscount Rothermere target you with it through their nasty newspapers - to convince you another better world is simply NOT possible.

The legacy Newspapers (owners) are still a major, if not the, major font of political power in the UK.

We have plans to tackle the malignant media, how ever it manifests in our lives.
