CLIMATE INACTION = RACISM Hey @Guardian Guardian Saturday Guardian Readers' Editor, well done for the article on climate activists. But how come there’s 19 people with placards and 1 without? You know, the 1 black person, Elise Yarde. Don’t you like what she has to say? 🧵thread by Elise 1/6

Nearly every world leader at #COP26 is male. The #patriarchy seems abstract until you realise that the future or humanity rests this week almost exclusively in the hands of men. Gail Bradbrook #ClimateEmergency

#COP26 has been named the must excluding COP ever. This is no longer a climate conference. This is a Global North greenwash festival. A two week celebration of business as usual and blah blah blah.

"Limiting temperature rises to 1.5C is not enough for African countries," Uganda’s Vanessa Nakate tells climate demonstrators at #COP26. “1.2C is already hell for us. It’s already destruction. It’s already suffering. It’s already disaster." bit.ly/3mObJDx

Imagine trying to explain to your children 20 years from now why you didn't rebel against the system that so clearly threatens their lives. We tell our children we will do anything to protect them, but now we must live up to that truth. In deeds, and not just words.

The fate the first round of #InsulateBritain supporters will be decided this week. Do you feel more likely to join them on the streets after we have seen #cop26 fall short on the necessary steps to transition away from #FossilFuels?

This is unimaginably important - please please please, if you can, get to London tomorrow and resist the end of the right to protest

"see the doctors and the biologists are frightened too, and you locked them up but we only grew" Gully Bujack Gully was arrested yesterday siting together with the many stepping up in solidarity with the #Highway9 and #FreeJamesBrown now. Listen to this today, and then #ActNow

9 peaceful protestors are in prison. They have to pay £5000 each, in addition to serving time, for peacefully pressuring the Government to #ActNow on the #ClimateEmergency. Show solidarity, share their crowd funder now. It's time to pull together. crowdfunder.co.uk/highway9

Can’t be at Downing Street today but #IStandWithEmmaSmart #InsulateBritain #HungerStrike

There is a Paralympian in prison who climbed on top of a plane at an exclusive airport, at risk only to himself, because of his fears about the climate emergency. But people who stood in the way of an emergency service crew trying to save lives at sea, will face no consequences.

“The activists of Extinction Rebellion Global are leading the way in confronting this immense challenge, with courage and integrity, an achievement of historic significance that must be amplified with urgency.” Gratitude for #NoamChomsky on his 93rd birthday 🎉

As James Brown waits to be reunited with her dad. #ExtinctionRebellion is inspired, honoured, and grateful for James and his sacrifice for #ClimateAction. Politicians try to silence protest, we show love and defend the #RightToProtest. #BeMoreJamesBrown #KillTheBill

Please share: Tomorrow is the trial of environemntal activists in the Greek island of Syros. The company requests 3 MILLION euros from the activists through a SLAPP lawsuit because they "defamed " the company which manages the shipyard on the island. 1/5
