Success! This distracting and pointless digital adscreen, proposed for Stamford Hill, right opposite Stoke Newington Station, has been rejected permission on the grounds of public safety and detriment to the character of the area!
Thanks everyone who objected!

There are serious questions about forced labour in Shein's supply chains - and ongoing legal action against them - TfL should not be making money from companies with such opaque business practices promoting fast fashion.

BREAKING: ex BP CEO Lord John Browne disrupted on the day BP announced yearly profits of £7.9 billion 🤑🤑🤑

Lord Browne led BP for over a decade, throughout the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was hosted by Clifford Chance, one of the worst law firms for backing big oil 🤢 at QMU

We have been calling for an end to the bombardment of junk food ads for years - October 1st 2025 can't come soon enough! 🙌@wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk

If the United States is prepared to commit genocide in the Middle East to support Apartheid, how long before it's prepared to do it to support Apartheid in the US?

MUPIs are architectural devices designed to make advertising campaigns visible in public spaces. This one became makeshift shelter, a “home-made house,” which includes basic comfort, a window to the world, and a 4K TV on sale until the end of the month.

In a 2nd round of actions by Ad Break in Bristol they have added 'Skip Ad' buttons to nearly 50 adverts, and a splatter of paint to a giant digital screen.
"We never invited these messages that are damaging to us & the planet into our city, and we want them gone."

[Caroline Russell @CarolineRussell]

We all agree we shouldn’t be profiting from, or promoting weapons, cigarettes, or authoritarian regimes on @tfl – why is @MayorofLondon allowing fossil fuel ads to keep running in our city?

[Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives @darren_cullen]

Urgently need a short-term 1 year or even 6 month space in London to keep my studio open, 1000 sq ft+. If anyone out there has commercial space going. I'm being evicted in 3 weeks 😅

[Adfree Cities @adfreecities]

We had a great time at #GreenParty conference. Our panel discussion drew a huge crowd and lots of interest in reducing the presence of advertising in our lives 💚
