Inspirational activist @mitzijonelle spoke by Zoom at Iona Abbey recently, advocating #climatecrisis urgency. She’s in Glasgow this Saturday to call out the fossil fuel industry which makes billions at the cost of our future campaign for a #justtransition to clean energy.

Our team members, Simeon and Paul, will explore how we can all play a part in building an economy that enables the flourishing of all life.
