The Coat of Hopes is on its way to Sheffield

Last Saturday I spoke at the Act Now Conference in Acomb, York. ACT Now! for a Better World explored how individuals and churches can work together to create a brighter, greener future.

Landmark decision in the Royal Court of Justice finds in favour of Trudi Warner

Sheffield Defend Our Juries are celebrating following the High Court decision on Monday to dismiss the application of Robert Courts MP, the Solicitor General, to imprison Trudi Warner, a 69-year-old retired social worker. She held a sign outside Inner London Crown Court in March 2023 saying “that a jury has the right to acquit a defendant as a matter of conscience, whatever the directions of the judge” and coincided with the prosecution of a group of people for taking direct action to tackle climate breakdown and fuel poverty.

Safe Streets Now! Join us in Walkley and Park Hill this Saturday.

Every week in the Sheffield Telegraph it’s a sure bet that there will be various stories about car crashes. Each crash means misery for the people involved, more expense for the NHS, delays for other travellers and at its worst life-changing injuries or death. Across the UK, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads every 16 minutes.

Palestinian Prisoners must be released

We hear a great deal about the Israelis taken captive on October 7th, the need to release them and bring them home safely, the distress of their families – all of which are legitimate concerns, and we want them to be released.

However, we hear next to nothing about the 8100+ Palestinians taken as captives by Israel in the West Bank since 7th October. Nor do we hear about the hundreds recently taken captive from Gaza.

Long before October 7th, thousands of Palestinians were captured by Israel and imprisoned, many without trial or charge, for years on end.

Change Everything

Natalie Bennett, Baroness of Manor Castle has written a book, called Change Everything. It is not mistitled, she really does want to Change Everything and it is an excellent introduction to what it means to be Green today. As Natalie writes in the introduction, the book is about “ innovation in the way our societies work, how we care for each other, relate to each other and the natural world and meet our most basic needs. And most crucially, how we think about our lives.” 

We must stop providing this Genocidal Israeli Government with weapons.

A letter to the Sheffield Star Dear Editor Today Labour confirmed that it will continue selling weapons to Israel if it wins the General Election. Shadow Minister Pat McFadden said on Sky TV: “We don’t have a boycott of selling arms to Israel”, claiming that Israel is “abiding by international humanitarian law”. https://twitter.com/ZackPolanski/status/1775274600953479508?s=20 This wasContinueContinue reading “We must stop providing this Genocidal Israeli Government with weapons.”

Let’s commit to no more road expansion

The stress of traffic is a burden. Whether we’re stuck in it, trying to keep our kids safe beside or crossing it, if we’re straining to hear someone talk over it, or even just breathing near it.  It’s costing lives and money, and we can’t afford it any longer. We can do better than this. ContinueContinue reading “Let’s commit to no more road expansion”
