Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Climate chaos doesn’t end when the floodwaters recede or the fires burn out.

Entire regions are scarred for years, families displaced, livelihoods destroyed.

Communities in Greece still live as climate refugees two years after Cyclone Daniel.

It’s time to #MakePollutersPay.

Europe’s climate refugees: The Greek communities wiped off the map

Villages in the country’s agricultural breadbasket lie half-abandoned two years after catastrophic floods.

Europe is burning and we know who is to blame - the #fossil #fuels and their #lobbyists. This year, more than 2000 #wildfires burned through European #forests 🔥😣

🫵 Join our #campaign against the dirty lobbying in the European institutions.

It's #TimeToResist⁣

Billionaires and corporations are trying to take control of our rights and freedoms.⁣

But they underestimate #PeoplePower. We’ve fought and won before – so we can fight and win again.⁣

Our paid supplement is out!

Yes, rest can be resistance.

But we should not co-opt social justice language and language of black liberation to turn our basic human needs into an ideological stance.

Deadly heatwaves in Europe, deadly flooding in Texas.

Yep, it's all correlated. Yep, the best time to act and cut CO₂ was yesterday. The second-best time to act is today.

🛢️ The UK Parliament is debating a ban on fossil fuel ads & sponsorship today, after a petition received over 110,000 signatures.

"We say no more. Tobacco advertising was banned in 2002 because we all know smoking kills. Fossil fuels kill too, so let’s get the ban done!"
