Inspired by the clubs we follow and communities we come from, we love football, celebrate diversity and tackle discrimination.

The lady circled in the photo was Lucy Higgs Nichols. She was born into slavery in Tennessee, but during the Civil War she managed to escape and found her way to 23rd Indiana Infantry Regiment which was encamped nearby.

She stayed with the regiment and worked as a nurse throughout the war.
After the war, she moved north with the regiment and settled in Indiana, where she found work with some of the veterans of the 23rd.

She applied for a pension after Congress passed the Army Nurses Pension Act of 1892 which allowed Civil War nurses to draw pensions for their service.

The War Department had no record of her, so her pension was denied. Fifty-five surviving veterans of the 23rd petitioned Congress for the pension they felt she had rightfully earned, and it was granted.

The photograph shows Nichols and other veterans of the Indiana regiment at a reunion in 1898. Beloved by the troops who referred to her as “Aunt Lucy,” Nichols was the only woman to receive an honorary induction into the Grand Army of the Republic, and she was buried in an unmarked grave in New Albany with full military honors in 1915.

Artificial turf is considered "impervious" by EPA.

All of that water is now full of PFAS and microplastics.

STOP laying plastic shit down on top of everything.

Here is the full video of my protest today disrupting the UN High Level Plenary Session of #COP28UAE. They detained me for over 30 minutes after this protest. My only crime- Asking to Phase Out Fossil Fuels, the top cause of climate crisis today. Now they kicked me out of COP28.

https://t.co/jLooYAlkh7 Head of CoP says that phasing out fossil fuels wld send us ‘back to caves’.
What an utterly tired, unimaginably dumb, insanely false & dangerous thing to have said.
CoP has become a corrupt, cruel joke.

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

#COP28 starts today. Findings from the #IPCC 2023 Synthesis Report are clear.

#Climatechange is a threat to human well-being & planetary health.

There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable & sustainable future for all.
