The police stole my friend's car and are auctioning it off because she is a climate activist. It's her home too, and a bunch of her gear was in it. She's dedicated and full time, please give generously and help her out.
Earlier this week, the NSW police confirmed that they have confiscated and intend to auction off my car and personal property after it was seized three weeks ago.
20 actions, 27 arrests in just over a week at the largest coal port. We need you to step up and fight back for survival. There's so many support roles, you don't have to lock on, but you do need to support.
Finally some good news! Thanks to the decades of work of staunch forest defenders, scientists and community members. Respect to first nations people who have been caring for country since time immemorial. This has been far too long in the making, other states need to follow suit immediately. For climate, for decolonisation, for biodiversity protection and the enjoyment of all.
BREAKING NEWS:
Premier McGowan has just announced that native forest logging will end by January 2024.
“This is huge,” said Jess Beckerling, WAFA campaign director.
“This is an historic moment, and we applaud the Premier, and Ministers Sanderson and Kelly, for their leadership and thank them for this major and long-awaited breakthrough.
“The South West forests are incredibly precious and they’re vital to climate and to wildlife, water and culture. This new direction, that the Premier has announced today, to end native forest logging in just over 2 years’ time, is profoundly important and will be heartily welcomed by the West Australian community.
“But this is not the end. We still have two years ahead of us until the next Forest Management Plan is signed and sealed and we must maintain our focus to ensure that this very welcome new direction, results in the forest protection that we so desperately need.
“This announcement from the Premier today comes as a result of thousands of people who have contributed hundreds of thousands of hours over many decades. WAFA wants to acknowledge every one of you, and say also to all forest supporters, we’re on track and we’re nearly there, stick with us, we’re going to fully and securely protect the precious South West forests.
The Premier’s announcement doesn’t address all of the threats facing the forests. It doesn’t end clearing of jarrah forests for bauxite mining, or deal with issues surrounding thinning of degraded regrowth forests. It also doesn’t address fire management. There will however, be plenty of opportunity coming up for the community to have an effect on these other major issues facing the forests during the development of the next Forest Management Plan, and through other processes and we will be facing them with the same determination that we have faced logging with.
“We also look forward to the development of expanded farm forestry and a fair transition in employment for those currently engaged in native forest logging.
“Today, we’ve made history. Western Australia will become the first State in the country to finally, after all of these decades, stop the logging of our precious native forests and see them protected for their climate, biodiversity, water and cultural values,” said Ms Beckerling.

We are concerned community based in Australia and New Zealand, standing in solidarity with West Papua. We call for our friends to support Victor Yeimo, international spokesperson for West Papua National Committee and Papuan People’s Petition.
Feel free to go and cast a vote for this cake in the the Threatened Species Bake Off. Not a lot of point in the government raising awareness about threatened species if it's just going to keep sending them to the brink by logging their homes.

When you're engaged in some form of activism or struggle it can be hard to keep those s**t thoughts at bay some (or even most) days. Here's a little tune from the amazing Dr Docker to get you through.
He's am absolute legend who walks the talk and rocks up to protect the earth, so feel free to buy a digital copy and show some love.

Here's a New Song
It's called 'S**t Thoughts'
Made it when I was being a sad boy
Just recorded in the last few days
I hope it makes ya smile like it did for me
We must demand the QLD government and Adani’s investors put an immediate STOP to work on Adani’s coal mine – every day matters to protect the sacred Doongmabulla Springs!
The Wangan & Jagalingou Indigenous owners are calling for solidarity in the fight to uphold their human rights and protect their cultural heritage.
It's a pleasure to watch Earth Projectors go from strength to strength spreading the messages that need to be heard and taking back the commons!
A guide for changing the story on self-determination and justice
Please contribute to the crew making a mid length doco about the fight to protect the old growth forests of Fairy Creek . 500 arrests and one year of constant occupation. The crew that film stick it out on the ground and produce media for the campaign then and there as it should be.
For the third time in 24 hours, work has been disrupted on Adani's Carmichael rail corridor - this one a multi-species blockade!
Climate change is a human caused phenomenon, but it's effects on the earth's biodiversity will be disastrous. In fact they are already being felt, with scientists declaring we are in the middle of a mass extinction event. Most animals aren't like Arnie here, able to disrupt the building of another destructive fossil fuel project. They are relying on us to speak up for them!

The Mayor speaks about how we live in a democracy so there's no need for vandalism. Would be great if the minister could extend some of that democracy to the refugees she keeps unlawfully locked in detention centers. Free them!
If the company holds out 20 years we'll hold out one day more!
Toolangi Walk In
The surrounding areas were found to have at least 49 endangered Greater Gliders in them. Vic Forest are just that keen on protecting Australia's #1 world ranking in Mammalian Extinction that they are logging it anyway. Community resists, walks on and shuts down logging for the day!
Fresh from the frontlines of takayna.
Shout-out to Ramji Creations because sometimes you've just gotta put the camera down and occupy the tree sit! That said it looks like they're doing both today.

I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to the 41 people that have contributed to getting me back on the road to the next blockade!
Right now I'm sitting on about half of what I need to replace my busted car with a 4x4 mobile media unit. If you or anyone you know can spare some cash to help me produce another 100+ videos for frontline communities and train even more activists it'd be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!

For the last 5 years I have been filming and taking photos of frontline actions to protect the environment in solidarity with First Nations people and other community groups. I've made over 100 videos, several short films, cut a feature documentary (Forest Defenders) and have had footage in the news...
If you only watch one video today, make it this one!
