🚨 BREAKING: GAIE RECALLED TO PRISON FOR CHRISTMAS
Gaie Delap, a 77 year old retired teacher, has been arrested and taken to a prison in Bristol after being told her wrists were too small for an electronic tag.
She had been released from prison to serve the remainder of her sentence on tag, but the company claimed they did not have one that would fit her.
Gaie was initially imprisoned for breaking a law that was drafted by an oil company funded think tank - The Policy Exchange.
She took action in 2022 to demand an end to new oil and gas licences. This is now government policy.

Can reindeer speak? Of course! And they can fly, and grow moustaches!

COP continues to fail us– and our planet . There were 1,700 fossil fuel execs present at conference , larger than any other delegation . That’s why we’re angry– and it’s why I’m petitioning the Government to ban fossil fuel ads and sponsorships .

The French city of Grenoble is doing pioneering work in putting Doughnut Economics into practice. And they've just shared it in a fab report, in French & English. If you are in need of some inspiration (anyone?) I promise you a good dose here.... calameo.com/books/004190376c…

📣 Tomorrow is the day! 📣 Join us for the March for Global Climate Justice.
What is ‘climate justice’?
✊🏽It’s a transition away from fossil fuels that not only reduces emissions but also addresses global inequalities and harmful extraction from the Global South.
