ššØ āWe are deeply within a climate emergency state but people are not aware of it.ā -Prof. Hans Schellnhuber, director of the Potsdam Institute šØš
In April 2023 at the @ngadc, #DeclareEmergency supporters Tim Martin and Joanna Smith took action to protect our planet. Unlike the #Degas#LittleDancer sculpture, humans donāt have plexiglass to protect us from the effects of climate change. Tim used black paint to represent #oil and Joanna used red to represent #blood. They were both arrested after speaking out and this action resulted in widespread press. This week, the resulting #ClimateTrial is ongoing and expecting to conclude Monday. Follow along for updates and check out our āliveā tweets to see whatās happening in the #courtroom! #climateaction
The conviction of a peaceful @DecEmergency climate protester on charges of conspiracy shows the disproportionate lengths to which U.S. authorities are willing to go to penalize civil disobedience aimed at stopping climate change cri.org/united-states-climatā¦

But what we especially need are people willing to devote time and if you have any to spare, money. Time for media, time to follow up on anything Tim might need that we can help with - whether itās communicating with someone outside the jail, doing research.

What he wants more than anything is to have his message communicated. So we need help with media. Please reach into your hearts and find a willingness to sacrifice. Tim is making the biggest sacrifice of his life. We should to live up to that.
