BREAKING: Huge defeat for the Government as Labour conference votes that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The resolution accepts the UN Commission of Inquiry report and demands sanctions and a full arms embargo.
The Government must listen and act. Stop arming Israel now!
“Terrorism — a word never used for those bombing Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, or Gaza, but always for those resisting terror.”
– Tim Crosland, Defend Our Juries
This is the first time a direct action movement has been proscribed as terrorist.
If this stands, who’s next?
Climate defenders? Unions? Anti-racist organisers?
📍 Join us to unpack what this means for the wider movement:

2024 was earth’s hottest year on record, passing 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre
industrial levels. If @LloydsBank is not becoming a fossil free bank now, then
when?

Wow. A bishop just called out Trump and Vance to their faces at church.

There was a walk for peace, for Gaza in Worcester yesterday. Amnesty International report states that Genocide is happening. 45,000 killed. 70% women & children. UK Govt still arming Israel. Please can you comment for the press release
Shame on Alan Dershowitz.
Shame on every other demon defending the annihilation of Gaza.
We must stop this genocide at all costs.
Then we must dismantle Zionism once and for all. It’s an abomination and maker of monsters.
It’s time for Labour to remember its roots and reinstate the right to peaceful protest.
Thanks to @ChrisGPackham for the narration

5 peaceful climate protesters are facing an excessive sentence under the undemocratic Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.
I’m calling on Labour to repeal the Conservatives’ repressive anti-protest laws which undermine our obligations under international law.

People felt powerless, their voices drowned out by the rich and powerful. But a movement emerged uniting people seeking climate, social & nature justice, calling for a system where every voice mattered, and, in that moment democracy began to be reborn #UpgradeDemocracy
@RoyalFamily There are 100s outside Windsor Castle now who have written letters to the king regarding the climate emergency and upgrading our democracy. Please can someone receive them?

Topics covered planetary boundaries, trade, finance, fiscal policy, global South, decolonisation, gender, justice, well-being, social policies. Every panel included major advances in understanding. Together, the conference represents a monumental coming of age of post-growth.

For 3 full days the EU parliament hosted thousands of scientists, activists and policy-makers charting a future beyond growth. The talks & discussions were recorded and are now available to all. Thousands attended, thousands more followed online.

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯.
