🌎 OCCUPATION WAVE 🌎
✊ Simultaneous student occupations in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Germany. And more to come…
🔥 In the spirit of May ‘68, we are rising up in resistance to fossil capitalism and the destruction of our life support systems.
The time is now‼️
#MayWeOccupy #EndFossil #ClimateEmergency
Earth gives us food, water, oxygen and balance!.
Yet, in our greed for profit, we strip forests bare, poison rivers, and choke the skies with smoke.
It’s time to choose protection over profit, and regeneration over destruction.

Will you @EUinUG engage the Ugandan Authorities to immediately release the brave 11 Environmental Defenders that were arrested as we organized a non-violent anti EACOP peaceful protest march to your offices as these are spending their fifth night at Luziira Prisons.
Imagining a more democratic university at the @EFOUtrecht occupation.
Our proposal:
Abolish the board of directors!
———————————-
Power to the assemblies!
The board of directors has let us know that they will call the police to evict us once the building is closing 😤
That means they once again decide to call the police on us instead of negotiating! #copsoffcampus
We occupy our university because it is an undemocratic institution that serves (fossil) capitalist class interest. In our occupation we imagine together a different kind of university
"Devastating", terrifying, enraging.
Want to cry & scream, but am also oddly heartened by the person across the room watching biryani cooking videos on a common computer at the public library.

The struggle for eco-socialism is a shared struggle all across the world. However, due to polarised capitalist and imperialist development, the struggle takes on various shapes in different places. (1/5)🧵
🎓Universities are the institutions to foster critical thinking and produce the leadership for future.
🤫 Silencing and harassment of students and faculty is a highly condemnable act.
🇵🇸 Educational institutions across europe arw witnessing a wave of repressed dissent

"A textbook case of genocide"
Students across europe held demos, occupations & info desks in universities to call for immediate cease fire in Gaza.
Censorship, harassment and snubbing the freedom of expression by the authorities only breeds more resistance

By abdicating from programs of radical transformation of society while this society collapses, the left has surrendered the sense of "alternative" to the far right, writes João Camargo. https://t.co/NULmUTk0dB
Many previous attempts to exploit DRC’s fossil-fuel reserves have ended in failure, beset with scandal and officials cancelling contracts.
An investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) revealed a process plagued with apparent preferential treatment and backroom deals.
The DRC is auctioning rights to explore for oil in large swathes of rainforest and other protected areas across the country.
It is the latest attempt to exploit fossil fuel resources in one of the world’s poorest countries, where almost two-thirds of people survive on less than $2.15 (£1.73) a day, the international poverty line.
"We cannot remain silent. No-one can remain silent when there is an ongoing genocide and when people are denied the most basic human needs ... To stand with Palestine is to be human."
Greta Thunberg calls out Israel's genocide during a speech in Leipzig, Germany.
Big win from @endfossil_lutud! 🔥
The university did not cut the ties but some of the worst climate criminals are not present anymore at the biggest career fair in Delft!
This comes after a long campaign of @endfossil_lutud with the support of @solid_research 💥💥💥
