This is bloody outrageous! @BlockadeAus activist, has been sentenced to 3 mths prison. To appeal. They acted in BA's call for a change to the economic & political system to achieve meaningful climate action. Our govt is not acting urgently so protesters are compelled to act.

“Prison is a violent mechanism used to quash dissent,” said Emma. “Jails don't solve social problems. Cages won't hold back fires, floods, decimation of nature, famines, social collapse... Only collective resistance can do that.” #ProtectProtest #ClimateEmergency @BlockadeAus

“To be be locked in a cage for daring to act against destruction in favour of a kinder future … is an ultimate injustice and cruelty,” said Emma. “But locking people up is what ‘Australia’ has done since the beginning - and why it must be stopped.” #ProtectProtest

Solidarity with #EmmaDorge who faced 3 YEARS in jail and has just had the more serious charges dropped. And a big🖕to @Dom_Perrottet who manages to sleep at night while his govt. facilitates climate collapse and jails young people for demanding a safe future. #ProtectProtest

Violet Coco was sentenced to 15 months in jail under NSW’s new draconian anti-protest laws. The right to protest is vital to a functioning democracy & essential in our fight against the climate crisis.
