#AndStillWeRise was an *amazing* day of coming together across movements and struggles, and we loved being a part of it! ✊

On #BlackFriday (#BuyNothing Day), we protested at Primark and Zara to support Bangladeshi garment workers fighting for fair wages. Despite promises from these brands, they’ve failed to protect workers’ rights and ensure safety for those speaking up. @labourlabel

We're trying to raise £3k by Dec 20 – can you support us?

Our lyrics here today are taken directly from Article 10 of the Human Rights Act. Was a pleasure to lead this procession. #FreePoliticalPrisoners #SackLordWanley

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY

@LordWalney wants to take that right away. That’s why UK Govt must #SackLordWalney

Today’s action saw hundreds bring a message to the Attorney General. Meet with us to discuss corruption.

We paid a visit to @BlackRock and @RBC earlier this week. These are two major financiers fossil fuels. Additionally, Blackrock invests in genocide, and RBC violates the rights of Indigenous people. Future, not profit!

[BP or not BP? @drop_BP]

This. Is. Grim. 🤢

BP is cutting renewables.

Putting billions into more oil and gas.

But now, it’s desperately greenwashing its image…by sponsoring and renaming a music arena in Birmingham but using its EV charging brand! 🫨🛢️🎶

[Culture Unstained @Cult_Unstained]

BREAKING! 🎭 Over 80 leading actors, playwrights and theatre-makers have called on @oldvictheatre to end its partnership with @RBC, one of the world's biggest fossil fuel financing banks... 1/3

🥳 VICTORY! 🥳

Trans Pride Plymouth is the latest of 26 signatories to become a Fossil Free Pride!

Big love to them for putting queer solidarity first & saying no to pinkwashing climate-wreckers causing our LGBTQIA+ siblings in the Global South to suffer first & worst ✊❤️‍🔥

🚨BREAKING: @sciencemuseum is OCCUPIED🚨

We intend to stay the weekend in protest against the museum's sponsorship deal with coal producer and human rights abuser @AdaniOnline. Follow @y_climatejust and @ScientistsX for updates! Join us tomorrow - details in 🧵! 1/

[ScientistsForXR @scientistsx.bsky.social @ScientistsX]

.@ChrisGPackham has a big question for the @sciencemuseum “why on earth are we allowing a destructive industry to sponsor an educational exhibition whilst simultaneously setting fire to young peoples futures? This is beyond greenwash - it’s grotesque” #AdaniOut #FossilFreeMuseum

[Real Media @RealMediaGB]

❌ A coalition of groups protested the #greenwashing at the Science Museum on Saturday, ahead of today’s new gallery opening sponsored by coal giant, #Adani.

[Culture Unstained @Cult_Unstained]

"A gallery about renewable energy is exactly what the @ScienceMuseum should do, but the choice of the sponsor beggars belief." 😠

Speeches, a sit-in and a 12m banner drop! 😲

On Sat, 150 people protested #Adani's sponsorship of a new #climate gallery... https://t.co/uZlmmgqPtJ

[BP or not BP? @drop_BP]

This exciting protest at the fossil-fuel sponsored @sciencemuseum is TOMORROW!

Book a free ticket and head down and join the action… 👇👇👇
