Dozens of people just walked out of @GasNaturally's talk at #COP24. Why? Because there is no place for #gas is incompatible with halting #ClimateChange. Corporate #gas lobbies should not be given a platform to speak while communities are silenced.
"This is not democracy. This is a conflict of vested interests and a corruption process that is already having devastating impacts and around the world."
Roscoe Blevins of @reclaimthepower tells it how it is outside the @GasNaturally lobby event at #COP24#PollutersOutPeopleIn
Huge solidarity to the #Stansted15 and their families and loved ones as they were found guilty today. Another attempt to clamp down on peaceful protest.
It's the #HomeOffice and their secretive and brutal deportation regime who should be on trial here.

"Without their actions I would have missed my daughter’s birth, and faced the utter injustice of being deported from this country without having my (now successful) appeal heard." https://t.co/sO94N5grp6
"As a result of what happened and what they did, we know that out of the 60 or so people supposed to be on that flight, 11 are still in the country, 4 referred to National Referral Mechanism, and 1 person granted Leave To Remain in the UK."

Its been a WILD week in the world of anti-#fracking.

The coverage we have got has been incredible but "exacerbates the perception that white middle-class environmentalists are leading the resistance against injustice."
Roscoe on the real story of justice and resistance.

I welcome the decision to quash the unjust sentences of fracking protestors.
We stand in solidarity with the activists and thank them for standing up to the further destruction of our environment by this Tory Government.
When Labour gets into government we will ban fracking.
It's been a busy evening for the #FrackFreeFour. Here is a great round of events since they walked free by @Channel4, including Jon Snow’s interview of Roscoe about why he is opposed to #fracking. https://t.co/QPMoOvQA7X …
Hats off to Roscoe, Rich Piano and Rich L (as we call them). They stepped straight out of Preston prison, where they've been incarcerated for 3 weeks, into a media scrum. They gave this speech. #FrackFreeFour#FreeTheThree#WeSaidNo
I've done a little video about what happened today on #fracking in the Court of Appeal @FrackFreeFour Watch it 👇or read the story on @DeSmogUK 👉https://t.co/H5MT6nljYE
The moment when the #FrackFreeFour were released... Thanks to those who are there to meet them. Everyone else lets join them at @FrackFreeLancashire national demo at PNR this Saturday. #FreeTheThree https://t.co/rXyzG4eVbB …
We are overjoyed that the boys will be free, this wouldn't have happened without folks literally dropping everything to help #FreeTheThree and for these efforts we are eternally grateful. Thanks to all who came out today & see you at PNR on Saturday! FB: https://t.co/8AYrcDrX8o
'I’m truly grateful to the three activists for doing what we should all be doing – trying to protect our children’s future from fossil fuelled disaster. Thank God the courts have seen sense and freed them!' - Actress Dame Emma Thompson #FreeTheThree#FrackFreeFour
