These protestors are not stupid
They KNOW they are going to prison for this, but they are doing it anyway
They're doing it to show that repression won't work, and the climate movement is not going away
It's an act of incredible courage and heroism. THANK YOU!

NEW: High court blocks Cumbria coal mine!
Approval for the UK's first deep coal mine in 30 years has been deemed unlawful after a legal challenge by @friends_earth and @slacctt.
Great news to start the Global Day of Action to #EndFossilFuels!
ALT A banner on the side of Westminster bridge in London reading "#EndFossilFuels. Fast. Fair. Forever."
The ridiculous idea of a 'carbon neutral' coal mine in Whitehaven has been rejected by the High Court! There is no such thing. Thank you to @slacctt and @friends_earth for appealing against Michael Gove's climate wrecking decision! #NoNewCoal #GreenJobsNow

All parents please watch this.
Dr Larch Maxey - a father of two - is serving 3 years in prison for a nonviolent action targetting the UK’s biggest oil terminal.
He knew he was at risk of being imprisoned and, back in 2019, he explained why he was prepared to take that risk.

BREAKING 🚨: The UK government has decided not to defend the case against Rosebank.
This is a massive win and a huge step towards stopping Rosebank for good.

This is PRECISELY why we need as BIG a turn-out as possible in CARLISLE tomorrow!
We stand together - or go down separately.

Our NHS frontline staff are the closest we’ve got to real life hero’s. 🦸
Attacking and intimidating them so they are fearful of going and coming home from work is disgusting.
This is amidst unconfirmed reports of this happening in Carlisle.

GOOD NEWS: UK govt will NOT defend plans for new Cumbria coalmine as it admits approval by previous govt was UNLAWFUL.
This is a HUGE win for Friends of the Earth and SLACC who have been FIGHTING this decision, let’s hope the court makes the RIGHT call next week

Thank you @laurensunfl0wer for your support and great words yesterday. As you said, if Horse Hill is rightfully considered unlawful, Rosebank is too. Good luck with your challenge.

WIN FOR THE CLIMATE! The decision to approve new oil drilling in Surrey was just declared UNLAWFUL at the Supreme Court. So proud to be here standing in solidarity with Sarah Finch and @WealdActionGr for the judgement. ❤️✊ This is HUGE.

Fantastic News! Supreme Court rules that climate impact must be considered when granting planning permission. This bodes well for the @slacctt / @friends_earth challenge to the #Whitehaven coal mine (16th-18th July). There is no such thing as a "climate neutral coal mine"!

Where is Stephen Kwikiriza?
It has been four days since Stephen was abducted and held incommunicado.
We join his wife and family in appealing to the Ugandan authorities to release him. It's not a crime to speak up against projects that harm communities.
Stephen has been very vocal about Kingfisher's EACOP-associated oil field, as evidenced in this video snippet from @egiuganda. #StopEACOP!

✈️ NO LUTON AIRPORT TOXIC EXPANSION
A group of local residents and concerned citizens are demonstrating this weekend against airport expansion due to its effects on the environment, coinciding with the busy BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend Festival.

Was it the lovely weather, or are the vast majority of the public against the planned West #Cumbrian coal mine? Either way our banner drop near Brettargh Holt today was getting a LOT of supportive hoots & waves! Apologies to anyone out for a quiet country walk #NoTimeForACoalMine

I'm not sure we'll see this on the news. But it is vitally important to know about and communicate.
Not only has the High Court today ruled the Gov's climate plans to be 'irrational' and unlawful, it's clear that Gov actively sought to prevent proper scrutiny of those plans by bypassing @theCCCuk.
