Climate justice and social justice are entwined. We cannot have one without the other because of their shared root causes—exploitative, colonial, capitalist, and oppressive structures—that are designed to uphold minority groups' power imbalances
As day 2 of #COP28UAE wraps up, Enric and Steve from the #PlantBasedTreaty provide an overview of the event's progress. While there are some positive steps in the right direction, it's crucial to recognize the need for significant strides forward to effectively address the planetary crisis within the limited time available. We need a plant-based food system now!
Our campaigner Steven George connected with Dr @YixianSun, Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor in international development at @UniofBath.
Has an international consortium working on plant-based food systems / technology / alternative proteins. He's connected with people negotiating these at plenaries and higher levels. He told us that he saw PBT at #COP26. Interaction with him happened at the vegan food court as we were interviewing people with a big smile on his face. #COP28
⚠️BREAKING!⚠️ @piersmorgan challenged by Animal Rebellion spokesperson Nathan McGovern as he pulls out a Bingo game...

The year is 2030. Global warming has reached catastrophic levels. Hedgehogs, red squirrels, otters and bats are extinct. We are 3 days late for our weekly Prime Minister change and two members of the Guardian-Reading Wokerati are having a somber tofu breakfast in flooded London.
Defendants who rescued terribly sick piglets are found not guilty on all counts in #SmithfieldTrial while 11 employees who stomped and kicked turkeys like footballs, videotaped in @peta investigation, were charged on 56 counts. A good week for animal justice.
Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.
