Great leadership by @LawyersAreResp and @SocialistLawyer highlighting the complicity of the law, and some lawyers, in 'legitimising' ecocidal corporations and their contracts, as well as unjustly prosecuting peaceful climate protesters.

[Haldane Society @SocialistLawyer]

We're proud to have supported the Declaration of Conscience by @LawyersAreResp. We're happy to see practical consequences emerging from it, which has also helped increase awareness about the role of the law, and some lawyers, in facilitating capitalist destruction of the planet.

I’m looking forward to speaking at this online event tomorrow alongside the brilliant scholar of race and racialisation, my friend and comrade Alana Lentin.

We’ll explore the relationship between Zionism and fascism, and discuss how to confront Zionism in and beyond court.

We’ll discuss how to use the survey most effectively, and next steps to organise pro-Palestinian workers in the legal sector.

For 22 months of genocide, Britain has seen widespread censorship of pro-Palestinian speech.

Work in the legal sector? Worried anti-Zionist speech is being suppressed in your workplace?

Complete our survey, share with colleagues, let's get organised!

Families of Troubles victims joined human rights organisations to protest outside the ICRIR offices in Belfast this morning. They marked a year since the Legacy Act came into force and halted all inquests into Troubles deaths

Lives … Health workers and scientists created the press conference we all desperately need today outside Parliament while our elected representatives continue to deny reality - https://t.co/MPit1nlnzk

[Declan Owens @owens_declan]

I'm quoted in this article emphasising the need for the public to protest with @sodoffdonard on 10 May in Newcastle. My principal concern is the ecological integrity of Slieve Donard but there is no doubt that this is also an outrageous waste of money.

Great article by @cochrane_amy which highlights the need to Save Slieve Donard and the great work being undertaken by @sodoffdonard to do so! Time for @NationalTrustNI to exercise its veto and call an end to this madness!

[Declan Owens @owens_declan]

@DaveBlacklist @Livesrunning My proudest work in the legal sector, which was mostly learning from you, David and John!
