#ClimateOfInjustice

I’m being inspired and enraged this morning at #climateofinjustice conference Centre for Climate Crime & Climate Justice LawyersAreResponsible . Hearing from activists and lawyers about the intense repression of protest in a time of emergency. With Raj Chada Helen Pankhurst Just Stop Oil ++
