The UK government are set on eroding any right to protest that is left. Please do anything you can. I don’t care what banner you do it under, just please do something.

Michel Forst, the UN Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders, has scalded the government for their draconian crackdown on any people trying to sound the alarm but as we’ve seen recently, there is no justice system and countries cannot and will not hold each-other to account. You can read his report here.

    Repression against those protesting and protecting the planet is on the rise literally everywhere. Protect yourself and your friends. Stay safe and support those that the state targets.

    Also kinda connected, but maybe not what led to OPs legal issues: Many climate protest groups around the world use strategies that focus filming themselves while doing criminal acts and/or getting arrested and identified by the police. I believe its not useful to make it easy for the state to target protestors and organizers.
