This is a call to revolution; our earth is under threat.
A guest blog by Jenni Crisp “This is a call to revolution; our earth is under threat” These words, written by the then Prince Charles in 2010 in his book, Harmony, were projected onto the walls of Windsor Castle earlier this month at the start of a 3-day camp and protest by Extinction Rebellion, withContinueContinue reading “This is a call to revolution; our earth is under threat.”
Axe Drax!
27 arrests foil Climate Camp but real climate criminals are given Government subsidies.

Sheffield, Stand up to Racism. Rally on Saturday. Demand your MP helps Asylum Seekers by lifting Reporting Conditions.
On Tuesday I attended the massive gathering at SADACCA, organised by Stand Up to Racism, to plan our response to the far-right racist violence we have seen in our community recently.

Restore Nature Now!
Many Sheffielders joined 80,000 protesters in Central London on Saturday to demand politicians Restore Nature Now. The event remarkably united traditional conservation groups like the National Trust, Wildlife Trust and the RSPB with more radical groups like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil and something like 300 other organisations, all crying out for policy changesContinueContinue reading “Restore Nature Now!”
The immigration system is hostile by design
