Solicitor Shila Keshvari talks to @MattBarbet about the record number of women being investigated over alleged illegal abortions. She says these women must be 'decriminalised' as it is a healthcare issue - not a criminal one. #SJUK https://t.co/T0qXPf6M6J 📺 Sky 501 / YouTube

...when you consider that the 20mph limit is only for times kids go to and from school- which doesn't protect anyone at other times! This photo shows the zebra crossing outside the school: one accident destroyed the nearest section of railings, on a Shortlands Market Sunday...3/n

...in the past 5 years, according to https://t.co/ahL4D6cjtb, the most detailed public map of road traffic collisions. 14 accidents is a lot for a short road with a primary school & a village on it! Right now the road has a temporary 20mph limit, but that's not enough... 2/n

“It’s hard to respond to people who claim #AirPollution ‘isn’t that bad’ if there isn’t a single comprehensive website that has the data to dispute that.” 👇 Why we're calling on #London's next Mayor to help simplify pollution data. #Mayor4CleanAir

South London has one of the highest levels of air pollution in the capital according to statistics published by City Hall in conjunction with London Datastore’s Air Quality team.

We've helped to send hundreds of postcards to Mayoral candidates calling for a #Mayor4CleanAir, with @MumsForLungs & a coalition of London groups. We need strong leadership to keep London's children healthy. #LondonElections #LondonMayor

This map shows nitrogen dioxide levels at monitoring sites in London in 2022. Anything yellow, orange, red or dark red shows levels above the WHO guidelines....yes, that's the whole of London. Diesel needs to go! #DitchDiesel #EndOfDiesel https://t.co/CMu0meMYoo

Well this gives me hope ... "A group of older Swiss women have won the first ever climate case victory in the European Court of Human Rights. The court said Switzerland's efforts to meet its emission reduction targets had been woefully inadequate." https://t.co/OKkGBHGuHV

"We are not made to sit in a rocking chair and knit," said one of the older Swiss women who won.

#ChocolateEgg reminder - #recycle your foil when you have a big ball of it. This way it gets recycled, otherwise scraps blow away, fall through cracks / conveyors & get binned. We save our milk tops & choccy egg #foil etc in a big jar till we have enough for a ball like this:

Takes two seconds. We know our bank related carbon emissions are higher than most other emissions we have. Our banks are in a dangerous relationship with oil companies. I've just told my mine to stop financing fossil fuel expansion - will you do the same?

Your money is powerful but right now, it's likely helping finance the climate crisis. Join us and make sure it's building a better world.

Getting the tune to Xmas no 1 is a small but important needle move in how mainstream culture talks about the crisis and activists. Plus if she fails, the Daily Mail will be crowing with delight and we don't want that! #inittogether #ClimateActionNow

It's about "showing politicians that we are watching them as they throw grenades at everyone’s futures by continuing to back the fossil fuel industry in a multitude of mind-boggling ways"..
