Thrilled to work with @EllenBurbidge and the @Yes2Renewables team on this short film 'Power On', which tells the story of change makers in Gippsland - full of hope and inspiration! Watch the trailer here 👇

Victoria’s native forests are some of the world’s most carbon-dense forests and we depend on their carbon sequestration and storage. By ending native forest logging now instead of 2030, we could prevent up to 14 mill tonnes of carbon from being emitted. https://t.co/PWAUPr6BPf

Members of a fishing community in India’s Kerala region are now in their seventh week of a relay hunger-strike to protest against the nearby port development of Adani. #stopadani https://t.co/kS54P74w9I

My experience at @MackayHHS in 2016 as a new mum was also terrible. Midwives not seeking consent, chiding my attempts at mothering, as they "assumed" he wasn't my first, even asking of his Lithuanian and Aboriginal heritage, "how did that happen?"

It seems jailing climate activists is in vogue. These draconian laws protect no-one and in fact endanger lives by exacerbating the climate crisis.

It's wrong that ppl treat each contemporary incident of police violence against Aboriginal people as just an individual incident not as a continuum of this history. You cannot seperate the past from the present because our past built our present https://t.co/SqJpflhdRg

@CentreMehi Thank you for sharing this story @CentreMehi.

"You're climate inaction killed my neighbour" reads one of the signs held by displaced Lismore resident Dee Mould. They dump debris outside @ScottMorrisonMP deluxe mansion.

Latrobe Valley coal power stations could all close between 2026 and 2032 says @AEMO_Energy.
The need for a comprehensive transition plan has never been greater, so no-one gets left behind.

@FLACCoal Chip in to support Kyle's appeal to the Supreme Court and help get him home for Christmas https://t.co/PgMFtxkZQM

[Frontline Action on Coal @FLACCoal]

BREAKING: Kyle Magee has been denied bail in Bowen Magistrates Court and remanded in custody until his next court date on February 8th. He was arrested after disrupting Adani's coal train for over 20 hours, and charged with four offences including, bizarrely, fraud.

[Hayley Sestokas @hailstormes]

Kyle has been refused bail and imprisoned till March for standing up to #stopadani. Support Kyle's brave actions to protect our climate and help get him home for Christmas. @FLACCoal https://t.co/PgMFtxkZQM

Now police are seizing and auctioning off people's property to stifle dissent @BlockadeAus. Australia has always used repression tactics for control – against First Nations people, and poor and marginalised people, who formed its original prison colony

Yesterday's Senate Inquiry recommended a Judicial Inquiry with the powers of a Royal Commission because over 500,000 Australians got behind it, backing @Murdoch_RC to wrest back our democracy and our future from the ideological grip of Rupert Murdoch.

"We know that coal ash dams are key sources of some major nasty toxic chemicals, heavy metals, selenium, arsenic and mercury that are quite often in heavy concentrations," Ms Anton said. @LeeMiezis @EPA_Victoria @EJ_Aus #CleanUpCoalAsh

Overnight Australia ratified the @minamataMEA Convention on Mercury. What does this mean for coal fired power? Better pollution controls and regulatory management. Read more here 👇

[Wangan and Jagalingou - Standing Our Ground @WJWarriors]

Devastating news. Adani has blown up a highly significant sacred site containing 1000s of W&J artefacts – and the Qld Govt stood by and let it happen.

We cannot allow this desecration to continue. It's time to put #CultureBeforeCoal. Stand with us: https://t.co/RIFdQptLHD

[Friends of Latrobe Water @FLOWLatrobe]

Yesterday with @EJ_Aus we released a report outlining threats posed by coal ash dams in the Latrobe Valley and the steps that can be taken to ensure our environment and community health can be protected. @LeeMiezis @EPA_Victoria #CleanUpCoalAsh
