We go where the silence is loudest. 🛡️
Corrupt governments and greedy corporations are dismantling our rights. Every single day, human rights defenders are attacked. We provide the international shield they need to stay alive.

🎬 On the 29th of Sept we supported the screening of ‘Pesta Babi: Colonialism in Our Time’ in London with Mighty Earth, QMUL & People’s Palace Projects. It follows Indigenous communities in South Papua resisting what the FT called the “world’s largest deforestation project” 🌳

If fully realised, the project could double Indonesia’s emissions. Defe & Aida from the Papuan delegation joined the panel, and Costan & Glenn opened and closed the night with music 🎶 Watch the film free ▶️ https://t.co/agG18DbQC4
