Dear John

❗️ HIGHWAY 9 SENTENCED TO PRISON

Yesterday morning, nine Insulate Britain activists (Emma, Roman, Jimmy, Ben, Olly, Louis, Tim, Ana & Ben) who were on trial at the High Court for breaking the injunction on the M25 were sentenced to prison for between 2-6 months.

The government would rather lock up pensioners than insulate homes. They would rather lock up young people than implement practical solutions to reducing emissions.

This ruling affects us all. As the climate and ecological emergency becomes a part of everyday life, and it becomes clear no one is coming to save us, we need to take a stand now.

We have reached the point where the problem cannot be ignored, the argument for urgent action is won. So, as the fallout from COP26 begins, we must take a stand, we must rise up, we must go into resistance.

❗️ XR REBEL IN PRISON
We also shouldn't forget that we already have a rebel in prison. Read about paralympian James Brown's case here or watch the a video 'Man on a plane' (30min video)
