Today I am grieving For the lost opportunity that hundreds of world leaders, thousands of police & military, millions of people, weeks of news coverage … did not act with this urgency to save the lives of future generations Today is historic humanity failure #ClimateCrisis

I believe nonviolent civil resistance is the only way to enact the rapid change we desperately need in such extreme times of climate breakdown. It's hard to do that from prison where I'm currently serving a 4 month sentence for peaceful protest so I've been busy writing letters!

It's 2 weeks since I walked 'free' from prison. Free from confinement but not free from the inaction of our ecocidal government. Certainly not free from my duty to tell the truth and act on it... which I will continue to do. In a climate crisis none of us are free. #ActNow

The 5 #OilyMoneyOut protestors in court today have all been acquitted due to a ‘condition so unclear …that it was unlawful.’ Judge Law This is a rare glimmer of justice, in a rising sea of repression. Climate protest is not a crime but it is still treated as such. We resist!
