Pleased to share the @ELIORG’s latest podcast. We have a new project aimed at curbing impunity for lethal attacks on environmental defenders. I look forward to hearing from those interested in the project and possible collaboration.

[Environmental Law Institute @ELIORG]

Environmental defenders play a critical role in environmental protection, yet often experience extreme violence. Our latest podcast examines the risks they face, the gaps in legal enforcement, and ELI's new project to help curb impunity. Listen here! https://t.co/FlgpwOfozN

Always a pleasure to see @SaraAColangelo1! Thank you @ProBonoInst for the chance to share pro bono opportunities from @ELIORG

Deforestation is a major issue in Latin America, and some governments are fighting to prevent it. @KEPerry1024 and @thuandavid10 discuss how Colombia has responded to #deforestation through military action and the courts in our latest podcast: https://t.co/FlgpwOfozN

In Colombia, critical deforestation cases are already on court dockets. To support Colombian judges, we've released “Deforestación y Derecho: Manual para el abordaje judicial de la deforestación en Colombia” in partnership with @GGGICol. Find it here: https://t.co/BeIZTyBQzl

@DrChairington Congrats, Dr!

Today’s the day - let’s do this, @SenSanders! Grateful for these voices, and so many others not in the video, in the diabetes community #insulin4all

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should fear that they won't be able to afford a life-saving drug like insulin. But last week, I sat down with some Americans who live that nightmare every day because of outrageous corporate greed.

[Kristine Perry @KEPerry1024]

We’re ready! Let’s do this!

[James Elliott @Jandelliott]

No more deaths from insulin rationing for people with #T1D. That's what the world agreed to by 2023. Let's get there! https://t.co/XVMlttu5TQ #insulin4all

A recent blog I worked on with colleagues at @ELIORG #ReproductiveJustice #EnvironmentalJustice

[Environmental Law Institute @ELIORG]

Reproductive justice IS environmental justice. Read about it in our latest blog: https://t.co/vsZxMZudvY

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

[ALLIED Global @ALLIEDdefenders]

After 2 years of obstacles, #Colombia 🇨🇴 agrees to ratify the #EscazúAgreement!

The 🇨🇴 Congress approved the bill that will allow the country to ratify the Escazú Convention, an agreement signed by Latin American & Caribbean countries to protect the #Environment & #HumanRights.

[Elena Hung (she/her) @ElenaHung202]

"She can't get inside the building because of her wheelchair."

No. She can't get inside because the building is not accessible. The building has a barrier that does not let her in. The wheelchair is not the problem; the building's lack of access is the problem.

Words matter.

[Kristine Perry @KEPerry1024]

This is not surprising. Imagine saying this as diabetics are dying due to a lack of affordable and accessible insulin. Shameful doesn’t even begin to cover it #Insulin4all

[Oversight Dems @OversightDems]

We’re not done—One of the documents uncovered by our investigation shows that one @NovoNordisk employee wrote “all I want for Christmas” is for insulin manufacturers to increase their prices in lockstep.

This is shameful.

A little bit of joyful emotion at the very staid Human Rights Council, as the UN for the first time recognizes the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment! (Mask was only off for a moment!)

[Inger Andersen @andersen_inger]

The adoption of the resolution on the right to a clean, healthy, sustainable environment by @UN_HRC is a breakthrough moment for env. justice. I commend the relentless advocacy by civil society, indigenous people & children.
