Extinction Rebellion Australia stands in solidarity with #StopCopCity and @DefendATLForest and extends condolences to Tort’s comrades and loved ones.

One struggle, one fight.

Love and rage,
XR Australia

#JusticeForTort
We need a borderless, internationalist rebellion against extinction.

We must rebel against those who uphold the toxic system which fuels the climate and ecological emergency.

XR stands with all land and water defenders and against state violence.

What is Cop City? Truly dystopian.

They wanna destroy some of Atlanta’s last remaining forest to build a mock town to train cops. No one would actually live there.

The project picked up during BLM, is adjacent to a mostly black neighbourhood and the land is connected to slavery.

💥 BREAKING 💥

After participating in Extinction Rebellion Australia actions over the years, scientists and academics across many disciplines have launched Scientist Rebellion Australia.

Their message: WE ARE NOT SAFE.

Thread ⬇️ ImageImageImageImage
⚡️LIVE ⚡️

Scientist Rebellion is congregating at the southeast side of Princes Bridge, Naarm / Melbourne with a warning for the public:

We are NOT safe!

Governments and companies must stop investing in gas, coal and oil!

#ClimateEmergency ImageImageImage
“We, scientists and academics, believe we should expose the reality and severity of the climate and ecological emergency by engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience.

Unless those best placed to understand the emergency take action, then how can we expect the public to act?” Image

💥BREAKING💥

Minutes out from the #TourDownUnder criterium race, rebels have chucked buckets of black paint and sprawled ‘Dump Santos’ across @SantosLtd HQ.

Our demand: SA Govt must dump Santos as TDU sponsor!

No social consent for climate destruction!

#ClimateEmergency twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
🤨 WHO ARE THE REAL VANDALS?

"Roughly ten years ago @SantosLtd went unpunished after spilling 250,000 litres of oil, narrowly avoiding widespread water contamination in Queensland,” said @XRSouthAus spokesperson Chris Johnson.

💧 WATER IS LIFE

"Now they want to rip up the Pilliga Forest to establish 850 gas wells which would put the climate and the Great Artesian Basin, the largest artesian basin in the world, at risk,” said rebel Chris.

💥BREAKING💥

Pedal Rebels are swarming Naarm / Melbourne with a scramble of skeletons and a message for @SantosLtd, sponsor of @TourDownUnder, and @ANZ_au, sponsor of @AustralianOpen:

It’s time to kick fossil fuel sponsorship out of Aussie sport! 🖕

🧵⬇️
@ANZ sponsors the @AustralianOpen and is one of the big four banks funding @SantosLtd, responsible for desecrating sacred Gomeroi Country and cooking the planet.

Santos sponsors the @TourDownUnder. Rebels have protested Santos’ sportswashing all week:

ausrebellion.earth/news/xr-sa-cha…
As rebels swarm the streets of Naarm, deathly fingers of @ANZ and @SantosLtd Business Execs are clutching briefcases stuffed with worthless dollars because business-as-usual = death.

@ANZ_au: We 👀 through your greenwashing!

@SantosLtd: We 👀 through your sportswashing!

💥BREAKING💥

Pedal rebels David and Andrew have donned the ‘Dump Santos’ message as they complete the grueling #TourDownUnder Challenge Tour.

They were followed by seven rebels who joined the tour in the final stretches with supporters cheering them on at the finish line.

🧵⬇️
Tour Down Under security stepped out in front of the supporting riders, putting them at risk.

One rebel was dragged off their bicycle and grazed their knee. Their bicycle was also damaged. Image
"I love the #TourDownUnder. I want it to continue. But Santos is a major oil and gas producer. It's a big cause of the climate crisis." said Challenge Tour rider David.

"It's time we stopped helping them look respectable, and found another sponsor." Image

💥BREAKING💥

@DanielAndrewsMP wants to hit peaceful forest defenders and scientific surveyors in logging coupes with $21K fines / 1yr jail!

Rebels have joined 30+ groups incl. @Alliance_Forest to demand our right to protect some of the most carbon dense forests in the world!
🧵
WHAT HAPPENED TO DEMOCRACY? 🌳🌿

We call on all Victorian MPs to reject the proposed draconian laws which will increase penalties for citizens wishing to protect forests from VicForests’ often unlawful logging practices.

cc. @DanielAndrewsMP @LilyDAmbrosioMP

#VicGov #AusPol
📣 LET IT BE KNOWN!

Government-owned VicForests is facing 9 court cases and corruption scandals including illegal logging and spying on a conservationist.

Yet it’s #VicGov that wants to send peaceful forest defenders to jail when logging is the crime!

NSW Police loves nothing more than harassing protesters only to run with its tail between its legs when it gets confronted over it.

@BlockadeAus: ‘WE ARE NOT THE ONES WITH THE GUNS.’

Full statement by our comrades on behalf of the BA network below.

But first:

‘WTF is an unauthorised protest, really? Isn’t the whole point of a protest to be disruptive? Protests by definition should not be state-sanctioned. Australian democracy, everyone.’

Exactly, @pedestriandaily.
Full statement from @BlockadeAus.
