BREAKING: Zoom took down our briefing call for the September 6th mass action TWICE tonight, after counter-terrorism police requested they do so.

The state are scared, but we're not.

We will continue to mobilise for at least 1000 people to join the next protest to lift the ban.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

BREAKING: Up to 100 protestors yet to be arrested in Parliament Square for holding signs.

It seems the police are overwhelmed by the numbers of people willing to voice their opposition to genocide and the Palestine Action ban.

[Steve Howell @FromSteveHowell]

Aberystwyth sent a powerful #StopTheGenocideInGaza message from Wales this weekend.

More than a thousand people encircled the town with a symbolic Red Line, and the local council flew the Palestinian flag after a unanimous vote to show support. The pictures tell the story.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

Here’s how the state responds to peaceful protest, despite overwhelming support from the public against Israel’s genocide on Gaza.

76 peaceful sign-holders were arrested on Saturday for supporting those who use direct action to oppose genocide.

[Steve Howell @FromSteveHowell]

The Reverend Sue Parfitt, an 83-year-old retired Anglican priest from Bristol, was among 20 people arrested in London today "on suspicion" of supporting Palestine Action.

Am I allowed to say she's a hero, or is that banned too?

She's a hero. Please share if you agree.

RACE AGAINST TIME TO SAVE GAZA: YOUTH DEMAND SUPPORTERS DISRUPT LONDON MARATHON

At 10:30am, Willow and Cristy jumped the barriers at Tower Bridge and sat down in front of the men's elite race at the London Marathon, wearing 'Stop Arming Israel' t-shirts.

Gaza is running out of food. Arming genocide crosses the line. We won't be bystanders: join us in resistance at https://t.co/eWp3frHX53

A big thank you to the Welsh contingent who made it to the Royal Courts of "Justice" last week. This is how we raise awareness. 🌎🛡️

🚨 BREAKING - Road occupied at Strand outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

Over 1,000 people are sat in the street holding a time-limited Exhibition in solidarity with the ‘Lord’ Walney 16.

The People will not be deterred by extreme sentences of peaceful protestors. 🧵

🤶A CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE!🎄

A special Christmas video from true royalty.

We will return to the RCJ on Jan 29 & 30 in support of the #JSO17, who are facing a joint-appeal against a combined 41years imprisonment for nonviolent direct action.

Thank you @switherdenMP for asking this crucially important question. Pity the Government didn't answer it. The #Labour government is complicit in the #Genocide

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

This sick system has really outdone itself creating a misogynist, racist, ableist lump named Trump.

#Trump & his cronies are blocking progress, denying science & putting profits before people,

And this is no accident - it's by design.

We will NOT stay silent!

Borders Rebels in Paris to call out #Shell’s green lies.

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

#XRUK rebels Mike & Sahrah from #Shropshire cycled to @Velodrome_nat for #Paris2024 to tell the world fossil fuel criminals #Shell are greenwashing their favourite sport. Olympians @EtienneStott and @GreensActivist helped with the banner! #ShellOut

Will someone please show this to Judge Hehir as he obviously hasn’t left the 18th Century. Diolch 👍🏻

"Our political system has been corrupted by the interests of big business and vested interests."

@XRebellionUK member @EtienneStott says Windsor Castle protests are calling for a citizen's assembly to guide policy.

It’s easy to get lost in all the sleaze. There’s plenty of it!

But the real story is Craig’s mate Rishi gambling with our futures, by putting the super-rich over people and planet.

The General Election won’t be enough. We need Citizens Assemblies to #UpgradeDemocracy.

[XR_Cymru @xr_cymru]

We have joined a blockade of BAE’s biggest UK site near Pontypool.

Weapons factories are incompatible with a liveable future for humanity.

As part of the #CymruPeaceCoalition, we won’t rest until we see a #ceasefire.

@SuluhuSamia’s Tanzanian authorities are intimidating any of its citizens who want their leaders to #StopEACOP.

@TotalEnergies and @CNOOCGroup will destroy communities and nature if the project is allowed to happen.

[Workers for a Free Palestine @Workers4Pal]

BREAKING: Hundreds of trade unionists are blockading major arms factories in England and Scotland that manufacture weapons supplied to Israel.

We will not stand by as weapons made in Britain are used to commit genocide against the Palestinian people! #ShutItDown4Palestine

[Extinction Rebellion Newtown & Welshpool @XRNandW]

…As part of a global week of action taking place in dozens of countries!

With the UK Government and others having licensed enough fossil fuel projects to tip remaining climate tipping points, we are pressuring insurers not to cover those projects. Hopefully they listen!

[@XRCardiff @XRCardiff]

Today we were at the Bridgend @tokiomarine office delivering a letter to demand that the company stops insuring new fossil fuel projects!

The climate crisis is already harming human health, through pollution, disease, extreme weather, forced displacement and food insecurity.

[@XRCardiff @XRCardiff]

🔥 ARMS FACTORIES SHUT DOWN 🔥
Over a 100 concerned citizens have formed peace pickets, arm in arm, blocking two weapons factories arming Israel, halting all Elbit Systems operations in Bristol: its HQ and its Aztec West Arms Factory
