Public security bills spreading like a disease...
If this #Maharashtra govt bill is passed, the police can enter your house, look for literature that can be used for "Unlawful activities", which means anything they say promoting "urban naxalism".
Another WhatsApp fantasy criminalised

Through the WRD Programme, there's a collaborative effort with women's organizations, feminist coalitions, and civil society groups aimed at boosting rural women's resilience. This initiative focuses on providing financial access and adopting climate-resilient practices. #SIDS4
It's appalling to be reminded that a large section of population in India comprising of Dalits, Adivasis, nomadic tribes are fighting to be recognized as human in this day and age! A revealing speech by @bhanwarmegh.

Thanks to our awesome volunteers for recording today’s Free Palestine rally. Midday State Library Victoria. @APAN4Palestine @FPMelbourne #communityradio #solidarity
Congratulations!
I'm not generally one for personal awards as I am very clear on the collective/movement realities of all @diva4equality work.
I accepted these social movement #PHRC3 awards in Nadi last week on behalf of my incredible team. Thank you everyone. Onward!

At @journalismfest #ijf24, CPJ organized a moment of silence and solidarity with journalists in #Gaza, who are suffering an unimaginable toll and whose daily work keeps us informed with facts that shed light on the human condition and help to hold power to account.
