Imprisoned climate defender Hoàng Thị Minh Hồng was released in Vietnam on Saturday September 21, 2024, a year after she was sentenced in Ho Chi Minh City ✊
Since her arrest, 9206 people from 55 countries signed petitions and pressured officials to call for her early release.

📢 Free the activists unjustly arrested for peacefully protesting against the destructive EACOP pipeline outside the Chinese Embassy!
China must not bankroll projects like EACOP that threaten the sustainable future of Uganda and Tanzania. #StopEACOP!

The Nairobi declaration reinforces Africa's climate vulnerability and Paris Agreement commitments. Yet, EACOP's massive emissions and disregard for ecosystems and communities contradict our call for urgent action. #ACS2023 #StopEACOP!

A Dunedin jury today found Rosemary Penwarden guilty on charges of forgery for a satirical letter purporting to cancel an Oil & Gas conference, due to the #climateemergency.
The oil & gas industry should be on trial, not grandmothers trying to do the best for their grandkids.

Shocking news from Vietnam. We stand in solidarity with Hong, her family, and climate activists everywhere. theguardian.com/world/2023/j…
Thanks for this lovely piece and for including me in the process.
“Movements have arcs. They have highs and lows. They’re going to have perceived failures and need to build something new from there. At those moments you don’t stop, you double down.” @will350 @350 wagingnonviolence.org/2022/1…

‼️ RIGHT NOW world leaders at the UN climate conference are debating a plan to phase out fossil fuels. If we’re to keep the planet within the safe limit of 1.5°C of warming, the era of ALL fossil fuels - including fossil gas – has to end. #PhaseOutFossils act.350.org/sign/COP27-fossi…

This is HUGE. 350 welcomes China's declaration to stop funding coal overseas. This could be a real game changer depending on when it comes into effect and which plants it covers.

So, you might have noticed that the #IPCC just released a new #ClimateReport on the science of the climate crisis. It’s not pretty, but there’s some hope. Here’s a 🧵 to break it down for you, starting with the bad, then the ugly, then the good.
.@EximBankUS @JDZP the votes are in: climate change denial is out, climate action is in. tell us what you plan to do to stop financing dirty #oil, #gas and #coal. #FinanceInCommon2020

Plan if Bernie wins the nomination: Build a movement strong enough to pass a #GreenNewDeal and end the fossil fuel industry.
Plan if Biden wins the nomination: Build a movement strong enough to pass a #GreenNewDeal and end the fossil fuel industry.

After years of advocacy and activism, @NYSComptroller is taking the first step to #DivestNY from #coal companies.
This is the right decision, Comptroller DiNapoli. We hope you'll also heed New Yorkers' calls to divest from oil and gas.
Just announced the next step in our Climate Action Plan to address #ClimateRisk to the state's pension fund. We'll divest from coal companies in the coming months if they fail to show they can change and join the low carbon future. nyscomp.org/38KeThy

To all the haters, doubters, and skeptics who said that fossil fuel divestment was some wacko idea that no one would ever do:
I present you Goldman Sachs, the vampire squid itself.
Goldman Sachs has tightened its policy on fossil fuel financing bloom.bg/2rJy5MS
