The Climate Crisis is a Health Crisis. We are a group of healthcare professionals in support of Extinction Rebellion's key demands.

For the first time in British history, protestors could be sentenced as terrorists. Through political manipulation terrorism laws are being used to sentence activists convicted of criminal damage undertaken as protest.

Mobilise on June 12th at Woolwich Crown Court.
10am - 4pm

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Today four activists face terror-related sentences for taking direct action against an Elbit Systems weapons factory in Filton, Bristol - a factory that makes drones sent to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza.

Back in April, I warned in Parliament that jurors would not be told terrorism sentences could follow a criminal damage conviction.

No terrorism charges were ever brought. The proscription against Palestine Action has since been ruled unlawful. The defendants were even prevented from telling the jury they acted to stop genocide.

This is a Labour government defending Israeli death factories and stripping away all of our fundamental rights.

Everyone who cares about our democracy should be outraged.

🧵The @nebriefing is an essential step towards a shared public understanding of where we are at, but from it emerges the question -What Next? A climate public health response to the crisis may still offer the positive future that is worth longing (and working) towards?

🧵Health workers have a clear role in communicating these opportunities and in demanding an appropriate, Covid-scale climate public health campaign - https://t.co/MPit1nlnzk

The paper on ED 'consultant' practitioners/nurses is absolutely fascinating. 🧵

The authors acknowledge 2 things:
1. That there is a national framework for 'consultant' practice.
2. That there is a nationally agreed role/function

🚨 SLOW MARCHERS FOUND NOT GUILTY BY A JURY

Hey @SuellaBraverman, turns out juries don't like when you invent anti-protest laws designed to imprison people for 12 months just for marching.

Six Just Stop Oil supporters were acquitted by a jury in Southwark Crown Court today, despite the judge removing all their legal defences.

This is only the second Section 7 trial that has happened, despite hundreds of people having been arrested and charged for slow marching.

Faiza Shaheen to Palantir UK exec - "Palantir helps Israel kill children in Palestine and Lebanon. Helps deport children from the US. There there's lots of other companies that could do that who don't have this deeply immoral approach"

Cooked him. No spin. No deflection. Just truth. Palantir profits from genocide.

🌍 Protecting people is the first duty of a Government. At present, the UK is deeply unprepared for the increasing threat of floods, droughts, wildfires and food shortages.

We need an urgent response and we won’t let the Government ignore warnings.

@ChrisGPackham @itvnews @ITV @GOVUK Thank you for highlighting this report Chris ... It is difficult but we can't hope to start acting appropriately if the truth of our situation is withheld from the public

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

So this is brilliant from @itvnews @ITV who have taken the bold initiative to call out @GOVUK on a shocking cover-up over nature and our future . It’s time to wake up . . . and smell the dangerous inaction

‼️Solidarity and respect! Medics found NOT GUILTY!!♥️

JP Morgan knew. They knew about the extremity of the climate crisis. They tried to cover it up. They are a walking disgrace: https://t.co/xOQkpONO8e

[Real Media @RealMediaGB]

In July 2022, during a record-breaking UK heatwave, six medical professionals broke windows at JPMorgan Chase’s European headquarters in Canary Wharf, describing their action as an attempt to highlight the health impacts of fossil fuel financing.

At their first trial in June 2024, a jury declined to convict them. Today, at the retrial, they have been found NOT GUILTY by a jury.

Let this serve as a warning to the Government ahead of other potential retrials of climate and Palestine protesters, including the potential retrial of the Filton 6.

Juries are voting with their conscience and delivering what many see as real justice.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

ANOTHER VERDICT OF CONSCIENCE!

Jurors have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to their conscience, irrespective of a judge’s direction.

[unionworkeruk @Peckhampulse]

This seems to be catching as ordinary jurors show more principles that any of our rulers present and potential in the immediate future

The Palestine Action ruling vindicates the courageous – and shames the complicit.
