Climate justice must include fighting for human rights.

@AXA is funding climate destruction and illegal settlements in Occupied Palestinian territory. They must divest from toxic investments immediately.

Dear Muriel Gray, @ArtyBagger, as a @britishmuseum trustee I urge you to stand on the right side of history and #DropBP sponsorship. Please don't sign a new deal with an oil giant in the middle of a climate crisis.

@BorisJohnson @COP26 Go further faster. This is not enough.

[XR Scottish Borders @XRScotBorders]

Ending coal is not enough.

For an agreement at #COP26 that focuses on fairness for people and planet we must end all new fossil fuel projects, including oil and gas @AlokSharma_RDG @BorisJohnson

.@John2Win Protest is a pillar of a functioning democracy. Everyday citizens need to be able to protest so they can stand up for issues that matter to them. Please defend the right to protest next in Parliament #KillTheBill

[XR Scottish Borders @XRScotBorders]

How much more evidence do you need, @MunichRe? Coal is killing the planet -- it’s time to act now! Think of our children's future and keep coal out of all reinsurance renewals. #InsureOurFuture

. @challasetty can you confirm whether SBI is about to hand over billions to help Adani Mining Australia wreck the climate and destroy the #GreatBarrierReef?

When negligence and failure to #FollowTheScience compels ordinary citizens to face arrest, something in the system is broken.

Our Marine Protected Areas need proper protection to give ocean life space to recover & thrive - a first step would be to ban supertrawlers from fishing in them. @VictoriaPrentis @DefraGovUK #ProtectTheOceans

[XR Scottish Borders @XRScotBorders]

We've been highlighting the destruction of trees in Hawick, a town seriously damaged by this winter's floods. Proper management of uplands, land restoration and more trees are the way forward not felling the precious trees we have #ScottishBorders #ExtinctionRebellion #Floods

[XR Scottish Borders @XRScotBorders]

Rebels gathered at Tweedbank to highlight the destruction of trees protected with a Tree Protection Order. This sort of short sighted action from our council+the developer cannot be allowed to continue. #ExtinctionRebellion #ScottishBorders #Nature #ClimateBreakdown #WeNeedTrees

[XR Scottish Borders @XRScotBorders]

@stocksyatlarge @boohoo @XR_MCR Excellent!

[XR Scottish Borders @XRScotBorders]

Some of our rebels are at Bradley open cast mine to protest against its extension, they join @XR_MCR, rebels from the North East&local activist groups, around 90 ppl are peacefully occupying the site #KeepItInTheGround #FossilFools #ExtinctionRebellion #ActNow @ScotlandXr

Dear ppl who keep saying "the grain basket zones will just shift north with climate change":

This article illustrates how the Cdn prairies are struggling under the *1st* demos of the type of shift climate forecasters are predicting for this area -

[Dominic Ashmole @dashmolean]

My letter to today's @peeblesnews highlights an apparent lack of strategy by Scottish Borders Council @scotborders in supporting the transition to #ElectricVehicles @ScotEVDrivers @EVA_Scotland @InfraCommScot @XRScotBorders https://t.co/Re9WTm4Aur

[XR Scottish Borders @XRScotBorders]

We were outside @scotborders again today as they have yet to declare a #ClimateEmergency.We wanted to remind our councillors that we are lagging behind other areas in #Scotland who have declared #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #BiodiversityLoss #ExtinctionRebellion #ScottishBorders

[Extinction Rebellion Scotland @ScotlandXr]

This is terrible news
