Change doesn’t start with politicians. It starts with people organising on the streets, in communities and at the ballot box.
Billionaire polluters need to pay up. Greenwashing governments need to get out the way.
And when the lights go down at #COP26 - we need to get to work

You can tell nations to 'pull out all the stops', @BorisJohnson.. but are you leading by example?
Let’s have a look at what our PM has said at #COP26 so far, and what #ClimateAction his govt is really taking.

Insulating our homes is an essential step on the UK's path to #netzero.
And not only can #retrofitting make our homes warmer and more planet-friendly, it also lowers energy bills.

At #COP26, @BorisJohnson talked a good game on #climateaction. But is he really leading the charge on climate change?
Let’s have a look at what he said at the summit, and what his government has really been up to…

The #GreenNewDeal would change our society for the better - putting people, health and happiness of everyone above the pursuit of profit for a few.
Tired of the blah blah? For COP26, plz share this short animation telling the story of 2 people struggling under the current system, and how a Green New Deal for workers could start to change the system + hit zero carbon on time. Full video: youtu.be/bPQWwEOAjQU PLZ RT

🏡 Leeds City Council is investing £100 million into improving energy efficiency in its council homes. As a result, thousands of council tenants will have cheaper energy bills & warmer homes. @LeedsCC_News

New @NEF analysis shows that only 10% of people think #UniversalCredit should be cut.
In the last 10 years, social security has been cut by £14 billion. The £20 uplift only cost around £6bn.

Even without the government's planned £20 cut to universal credit, our social security system doesn't support people when they need it.
Join us on 27 September to find out how a #LivingIncome would transform people's lives.

WATCH: Rigged: a workers’ story. This great 10-min film tells the story of the communities most in need of a #JustTransition away from fossil fuels.

To win on #StopCambo we must also win support for a just transition for oil workers and communities.

🌿@NEF and @PositiveMoney show how recent changes to the BoE’s mandate could allow finance to be steered away from fossil fuels and speculative lending and towards green investment to support the government’s ‘levelling up’ and Build Back Better agendas.

If wind power is going to benefit communities as well as reducing emissions, the goal must be to keep the jobs and manufacturing contracts in the UK.
