Coal's devastating impact on our climate is contributing to a fivefold increase in the rate of species loss 😢 We need laws so that climate-wrecking projects like Adani's coal mine are held accountable for this devastation and stopped #StopAdani

Justice for David Dungay Jr- An Indigenous Australian man who died in police custody. His last words were also “I can’t breathe”. The inquest found that the officers were NOT guilty despite it being on video. Please donate and share his story.

Devastating to see the development taking place in the USA.
Centuries of structural and systematic racism and social injustice won’t go away by itself.
We need a global structural change.
The injustices must come to an end. #BlackLivesMatter
David Elliot says deaths in custody and Black Lives Matter movement "not my kinda cause”
He’s the Police Minister in NSW - where 25% of adults incarcerated and 50% of young people incarcerated are First Nations people.
Where too many First Nations people have died in custody.
When I charged an officer with assaulting a 16yo indigenous boy after arrest, I was disciplined, warned & transferred. Two female officers who gave evidence were ostracised, forcing one from the job. That's how internal NSW investigations work. If untrue @nswpolice can sue me.
Hope you can make it - but stay COVID safe! Wear a mask and bring hand sanitiser, and please stay home if you feel unwell or have existing health problems.
