Well done to those got involved in the #DumpDrax action this week - telling Ed Milliband that we have to stop burning trees.

Here's photos from London & South Shields 👇

Labour has just decided to hand billions more to Drax, the UK’s single largest carbon emitter.

Planted 16 sunflower seeds today for the truth tellers who have put their liberty on the line for climate justice and a liveable planet and whose appeals are being held this week at the Royal Courts of Justice #16for16

If the group chose a flight free journey to Rome it would be really helpful if you could promote flight free travel to the Diocese 🙏🏻 @flightfreeuk.bsky.social @zero-hour.bsky.social @cclimateaction.bsky.social

Thank you @carladenyer.bsky.social 🙏🏻
My jaw hit the floor when I heard about Gaie Delap's case. A 77-year old peaceful climate protester threatened with being returned to jail...because they can't find a tag small enough for her wrists.

As her MP, I have written to the prisons minister Lord Timpson.

4 Insulate Britain supporters, of which 3 are Quakers, were acquitted at court yesterday, for actions which took place in 2021

2 other Christians are on trial for this same action in Jan

With these deadly energy bills, insulating homes is a no brainer

🌊 Campaigners in South Shields have called on their MP— Emma Lewell-Buck—to vote for the Climate and Nature Bill on 24 January. As a long standing champion of the #CANBill, we hope Emma commits to attending its crucial reading.
