Advocate for justice. Working with @GreenpeaceUSA to protect the human & labor rights of fishers. Formerly with @WeAreDoBold, @URINorthAmerica. Views = my own.
This week @wcpfc became the first #rfmo to adopt labor standards for crew: "This is more than a win for crew members; it marks a pivotal step towards securing a sustainable and ethical future for the entire global seafood industry.” https://t.co/IQt4zYnb3u
Hey, my face is on that flag!
But in all seriousness -- we have plastic in our blood. It is killing us. I need to raise my children in a world that is not poisoning their environment and bodies with these chemicals. We need a strong #PlasticsTreaty now. #WeAreWatching
🚨What's this?!
A giant flag has been unfurled in Busan at #PlasticTreaty talks & @Greenpeacekorea is sending a bold message to world leaders:
👁️#WEAREWATCHING!
Hold governments accountable for a strong treaty that cuts plastic production!

It's #WorldFisheriesDay2024 and many of those hauling in the seafood we enjoy are *completely* cut off from the rest of the world, increasing the risk of #forcedlabor. But they don't have to be! Join us in raising your voice to say that all fishers should have access to Wifi!
This #WorldFisheriesDay help us increase our coverage!
You know how annoying it is when you can’t get a signal right? 📶
But spare a thought for those working far out at sea - there’s simply no signal on our oceans.
🧵Today CAL, @CivicResponse and @UG_SchoolOfLaw jointly filed a historic grievance with @ghcocobod on behalf of 30 cocoa farmers concerning its failure to adequately monitor and address issues of deforestation, illegal pesticide use, and hazardous child labor in the sector
Honored to be joining @WeAreDoBold today in speaking about the #humantrafficking of domestic workers to Oman for the @GI_TOC's 24 Hour Conference on Organized Crime. You can join us now! #OC24 https://t.co/Ziml0p4yAm
SHARE: @Nike puts strong women in its commercials. But what about us? It’s time to turn the camera on the powerful women workers who make Nike shoes. “We’re fighting you, Nike. For decent pay, for equality, for a living wage.” #JustDoIt#NikeInequality
This research shows that there is #forcedlabor in @MSCecolabel fisheries. And MSC didn't want you to know this so badly that they obtained it before publication & changed their website. Read for yourself 👇https://t.co/ufOgVg9sMD
"For the third time in a row since 2020, Taiwan’s fishing fleet has been blacklisted for forced labor by the U.S. @USDOL. Why aren’t things improving?" ⁉️ Great question and breakdown of some of the reasons why from @DominoTheoryMag. https://t.co/y0CwkXR7sl
Energy Transfer is coming for @GreenpeaceUSA with a baseless $300 million lawsuit, attacking our right to protest. But we are not afraid.
Our movements for justice are growing more UNIFIED every day.
#WeWillNotBeSilenced#ImWithGreenpeace
So...fun story: @greenpeaceusa (my day job) is being sued for $300 million by a big oil corporation trying to silence us -- all of us. This is not just an attack on Greenpeace. It's an attack on any American who treasures their right to protest and speak the truth. 1/3
I will not be silenced just because big corporations are afraid that what I have to say might cut into their profits. (And, to be clear, in the field I work in -- advocating to end modern slavery in the fishing industry -- it would.) That's why #ImWithGreenpeace.
"Some oil-and-gas investors expressed concerns about the claim, saying it makes
the industry look vindictive and could result in a reinvigorated protest movement."
Yup. That about sums it up. It's about time for the bullies at @EnergyTransfer to back down.
Abusive corporate power is
🛢️building a massive dirty oil pipeline despite historic Indigenous resistance
💵then baselessly suing Greenpeace over it for $300 million, a lawsuit that could take Greenpeace USA down
Even the WSJ gets it. #NoDAPL

I'm so appreciative of the tenacity and courage of @TheMillstones on behalf of survivors of child abuse by @ggwo. All are invited to stand in solidarity with them to protest on Friday evening outside the East Baltimore campus.

Hey #exvangelical X, #churchtoo, #emptythepews - long time listener, first time caller here hoping to amplify the incredible work of survivors, advocates, and The @BaltimoreBanner to uncover decades of #csa and the ongoing failure of @ggwo church leadership to deal with it.
A former member of Greater Grace church who was abused as a boy is staging a silent protest outside of the church’s “homecoming” celebration that includes members from around the world. More on his story later; catch up on our series here https://t.co/T43SUw06hQ
Part 3 of the @BaltimoreBanner investigation came out yesterday. It is deeply personal & tells the story of my family & the story of many people close to us. It also made it crystal clear that *current* top @ggwo leaders don't properly handle allegations of child sexual abuse.
Traveling abroad & evangelizing in foreign countries is crucial to the mission of Greater Grace church. One family was horrified to learn their daughter had been abused by a Ghanaian pastor considered a mentor and friend. https://t.co/L2CUuqonAZ
