This!!!!!!
One of the most important, yet underrated aspects of Dutch design.
30 Oct 2020
In far too many cities, walking across side streets involves stepping down into “car space”.
Dutch engineers keep pedestrians in a raised, prioritized, seamless space.
This forces drivers to decrease speed and increase vigilance; reducing any sense of entitlement to the street.

Wait! News breaking that campaigners have seemingly won a signal victory against a giant proposed tarsands mine. The company says that 'investors' worried about climate make it impossible to proceed. What great organizing! #RejectTeck #stopthemoneypipeline

RCMP blocking media & food into #wetsuweten territory. This is violation of #humanrights & #wetsuwetenlaw.
Without #Indigenousrights there can be no #climateJustice.
Get inspired. Come out Friday in solidarity.

Our neighbours in the Guelph/Wellington/Dufferin County (@ugdsb) school board just declared a climate emergency. This follows similar actions in Sudbury and Victoria earlier this year. Maybe @wrdsb & @WCDSBNewswire will be next? #ClimateStrike #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrikeWR

On Friday, 11/1 we invaded 3 Chase Banks. We sang "We are the river, we are the sea” and the drop cloth became agitated, making waves across the floor. We reminded them that Chase made our pledge at the Paris agreement impossible by accelerating its investments in fossil fuels.
