Great leadership by @LawyersAreResp and @SocialistLawyer highlighting the complicity of the law, and some lawyers, in 'legitimising' ecocidal corporations and their contracts, as well as unjustly prosecuting peaceful climate protesters.
We're proud to have supported the Declaration of Conscience by @LawyersAreResp. We're happy to see practical consequences emerging from it, which has also helped increase awareness about the role of the law, and some lawyers, in facilitating capitalist destruction of the planet.

Care-workers, teachers, & now doctors. Dr Patrick Hart has been sentenced to 1 year in prison for taking part in direct action in 2022. He joins 19 others inside. The oil & gas CEOs & corrupt politicians walk free. No prison for protest. Sign here:

Outrageous. The climate and biodiversity crisis is also a human health crisis. Protesting doctors are doing more for climate justice than most lawyers!
Today Dr Patrick Hart, practicing GP, was imprisoned for 12 months for engaging in legitimate climate protest. They think imprisoning climate protestors will make us back down. But the fire in our hearts and our bellies just grows stronger for justice. 🔥 🌍 💚

I am looking forward to attending this @EldhLaw conference in Berlin on behalf of @SocialistLawIre and talking about the weak protection for the right to strike in Ireland. There'll be plenty to learn from other European comrades.
