There are serious questions about forced labour in Shein's supply chains - and ongoing legal action against them - TfL should not be making money from companies with such opaque business practices promoting fast fashion.
👋 @noahvickers14 for picking up my letter to the Mayor
The London mayor has been urged to ban all advertising from fast-fashion giant Shein on Transport for London's network, amid concerns over the firm's human rights record.

Lord Browne led BP for over a decade, throughout the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was hosted by Clifford Chance, one of the worst law firms for backing big oil 🤢 at QMU

If the United States is prepared to commit genocide in the Middle East to support Apartheid, how long before it's prepared to do it to support Apartheid in the US?

MUPIs are architectural devices designed to make advertising campaigns visible in public spaces. This one became makeshift shelter, a “home-made house,” which includes basic comfort, a window to the world, and a 4K TV on sale until the end of the month.

In a 2nd round of actions by Ad Break in Bristol they have added 'Skip Ad' buttons to nearly 50 adverts, and a splatter of paint to a giant digital screen.
"We never invited these messages that are damaging to us & the planet into our city, and we want them gone."

Advertising on our streets is often part of street furniture - See how many hidden ads you can spot on your school journey 👀 Get involved at adfreecities.org.uk/adspotte… #Adspotters
Just spotted another ad disguised as a phone box on the way to school this morning - once you start looking they are everywhere! #Adspotters

We all agree we shouldn’t be profiting from, or promoting weapons, cigarettes, or authoritarian regimes on @tfl – why is @MayorofLondon allowing fossil fuel ads to keep running in our city?

Advertising plays a big role in driving demand for SUVs, which are typically more dangerous, more polluting and more expensive than smaller cars.
A ban on SUV advertising is a key part of any strategy to start taking these oversized vehicles off our streets.
SUVs are setting new sales records each year — & so are their emissions
If SUVs were a country, they would be the world’s 5th largest emitter of CO2

The harms of gambling are serious & ads for gambling both minimise the risks & increase the harms - there should be a national ban on all gambling ads
New Gambling Commission figures show the number of people harmed by gambling has been massively underestimated for years.
The government must now step in to prevent more harm and deaths
