Every election season, thousands of people with intellectual disabilities in Ireland are deprived of their democratic right to vote because voting information is not accessible. I hope this guide will help people with intellectual disabilities to have their voices heard. 🗣️

In this thread I will take you back to live the moment and experience what is happening in Sudan.
You will be a Sudanese Civilian that woke up the morning of Monday 15th of March 2023. You will see everything like you are there and you would feel it happened.
This thread is to make you feel how people in Sudan are suffering, so please make sure it doesn’t stop with you.

If you saw it, its your responsibility to spread it.

As a Gazan with 15 years of research on Hamas under my belt, I address the question: Can Hamas be eliminated? The straightforward answer is no. The methods Israel is using are unlikely to completely dismantle Hamas. Recent polls suggest a surge in support for Hamas in both Gaza and the West Bank, but this portrayal warrants skepticism and calrifications. 1/12
🔥A hot take on #COP28:
The #FossilFuels industry tried every trick to protect its interest:
📍hosting COP in a repressive country to tame dissent
🎩placing one of its CEO in charge of COP
🤑sending thousands of lobbyists
😡coordinating a last ditch defence through @OPEC

In my 35 years of work in complex emergencies, I never have expected to write such a letter, predicting the killing of my staff & the collapse of the mandate I am expected to fulfill #Gaza
Here is a link to email your TDs and Senators, calling for Ireland to publicly lead and encourage EU heads of state this week to impose trade sanctions on Israel:

#CeasefireNow#HumanRights75#CeaseFirelnGazaNOW
This week I gave a presentation about flying and offsetting in academia for the Climate Action Research Institute @SwanseaUni. Here's a short 🧵 of the main points...
Call for humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza by Irish foreign minister / Tanaiste (deputy prime minister). Also notes that more children have been reported dead in Gaza since October 7th than in all conflicts globally since 2019.
Some politicians continue to argue that it is 'not the time' for a ceasefire in #Gaza, even with thousands dead.
So here's a thread of major organisations, statespersons and other notables showing leadership and calling for a #CeasefireNOW. I'll try to update regularly.

🚨 Human rights DELETED from new version of text on Loss and Damage Fund 🚨
Ahead of #TC5, a new text was published by the co-chairs. In this text, #HumanRights are no longer part of the objectives & scope of the #LossAndDamage Fund. This is unacceptable.

“You can’t cure killed babies with more dead babies. We need peace.”
The son of a missing Israeli peace activist says that his mother would be mortified by the situation in Gaza, and that vengeance is not a strategy.
