The #Barclays7 were neither imprisoned nor fined, but had to pay court costs of £500 each. They were each given suspended sentences for 2 years today in court. We have this message for the board of @Barclays
🧵1/15 To the board of @Barclays,

We express our bewilderment & dismay that Barclays chose to support the prosecution of these brave women rather than take heed of their warning. 2/15

🌊 DIRTY WATER CAMPAIGN 🌊

January 28th 2023 marks the launch of the dirty water campaign!

Join us as we support various campaigns taking place across the country!

See below for the finalised locations and times. Our waterways are the veins of our country, home to an incredible number of species and habitats.

But our clean water and biodiversity are being sacrificed by politicians and water companies who see our rivers and seas as nothing more than a commodity to be exploited.

With the UK’s first ever level 4 national emergency heat red alert declared for this week, this morning, healthcare workers carefully cracked the windows at financial services giant and investment bank JP Morgan’s offices in Canary Wharf.

Here’s why: GP Dr David McKelvey says:

“Today we do not lightly engage in breaking a pane of glass in the mighty @JPmorgan glass tower; it is done thoughtfully and carefully. Nothing else seems to have let the light in – hopefully this crack will, for the sake of all our health.”

1/5 JP Morgan are the world's dirtiest bank - investing 34% more than any other bank in fossil fuels. They are the biggest investor in fossil fuel expansion which the International Energy Agency say is not needed to power the world. 2/5
