Week 315. On September 21st in Stockholm many different solidarity movements will join forces and protest for justice and freedom for everyone. As climate justice activists we have to stand in solidarity with all oppressed and marginalised people all over the world, because no one is free until everyone is free!
Save the date and join us demanding that the people in power put people and planet over profit!

Today, as the people of Ukraine mark their Independence Day, let it be clear:
When Russia’s senseless war began, Ukraine was a free country.
Today, it is still a free country.
And the war will end with Ukraine remaining a free, sovereign, and independent country.
It's time to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, like we did before.
It's time to establish universal background checks.
And it's time to end immunity for the gun lobby.
Week 307. Earlier this week, 10 environmental activists from the group Mother Nature Cambodia were sentenced to six to eight years in prison after peacefully protesting for clean water.
This is yet another unacceptable example of the global trend where activists and land defenders are being criminalised and faced with ever increasing repression.
The right to peaceful protest cannot be compromised. Activists continue to resist state repression and continuing to speak up for all of our rights, freedom and safety. But they need all the support they can get. We all need to raise our voices to #DefendTheDefenders
I stand in solidarity with my friends in Mother Nature Cambodia and demand their immediate release, along with all political prisoners.

The expanded Child Tax Credit I signed cut child poverty in half and put more money in the pockets of around 40 million working families in 2021.
Republicans refused to extend it.
I want to restore it because no child in this country should live in poverty.
As someone who is not a rich white man, there is literally nothing but danger with Trump in office. Does that negate the issues with our current system? No. But as a non-political person, overthrowing said system a few months before an election seems risky af.
I think a scary thing is voters (rightfully) don’t want to vote for Biden based on his response to Gaza. Last night, Trump indicated his support for far worse, AND he wants to eliminate civil rights across the board via Project 2025. Abstaining from voting guarantees Trump wins.
One off night doesn't change the fact that @JoeBiden is the most legislatively successful @POTUS in our lifetime. One off night also doesn't change the fact that the former guy is a convicted felon, serial liar & adjudicated rapist who is unfit for ANY office. Period.
Because of Donald Trump, more than 1 in 3 women of reproductive age live in a state with a Trump Abortion Ban—many with no exceptions for rape or incest.
President @JoeBiden and I agree: It’s time for billionaires to pay their fair share.
Donald Trump wants to give billionaires more tax cuts at the expense of working families.
