Today marks the start of the ISDS Global Days of Action ✊🏽🌍⛓️💥 ISDS allows corporations to hold us to ransom. It undermines democracy, threatens human rights and blocks climate action. But we can win an ISDS free world together: stopisds.global/en/ #ISDSDaysOfAction
🔥 The UK is fuelling the climate crisis. It says it wants to move away from fossil fuels. Yet its investment treaties give fossil fuel companies powerful tools to challenge climate action. Our report, Fuelling the crisis, exposes the UK's role. 📘https://tinyurl.com/485zyurs #ISDSDaysOfAction
Over the summer I've been working on a special magazine which is dropping at Green Party conference next week. Green Pepper is a collaboration between @greensorganise.bsky.social and @redpeppermag.bsky.social - more at greensorganise.uk/green-pepper/, including how to get hold of it.
15-17 October - Worldwide days of action against ISDS. ISDS was invented to protest western interests in former colonies. Today it protects fossil fuel and mining conglomerates, financial interests and oligarchs. We must scrap it. stopisds.global/en/

Right now, Manchester’s air is screwed because of wildfires caused by… climate change. If this 👇 is really the former mayor’s first act of office, I hope Manchester responds appropriately in its mayoral election on 30 July.
There is so much work to do but we're absolutely thrilled to have got these motions over the line last night 💚 🍀
