How to arrest a 97yo climate protector at the #PeoplesBlockade ? Very carefully and to a heroes welcome! If charged, Reverend Alan Stuart will be the oldest person ever charged in Australia 😲 "I think it is my duty to do what I can and to stand up for what I know is right.”

The Abanese Government's complicated but worse-than-useless climate policy is astounding! That's why we need to blockade the world's largest coal port on Nov 25-26 & show them what real climate action looks like: actually stopping fossil fuel emissions!

The death toll from raging wildfires supercharged by global heating have killed at least 64 people in Chile's central Valparaíso region. I'm thinking of all the families affected and even more determined for serious action preventing unnecessary and catastrophic emissions.

No conviction for the first of the Rising Tide 51 in court yesterday! Wendy said to the magistrate of her motivations, "I believe such actions are necessary if future generations are to have the quality of life I have had."
