Thanks to all that shared and contributed - they reached their initial target last night! The stretch target is still in play so please do what you can do spread the word. These fine folks face serious risk of being imprisoned for a considerable amount of time, such is the state of UK protest law.
Please share, and chip in if you can.

6 medics face trial for climate action at time of record temperatures
We need your help to defend 6 health workers facing trial. They acted out of a duty to protect public health & planet, as politics and corporations fail to deliver their climate commitments.

Even if @bsky.app is an 'echo chamber', so what? I don't spend time trying to establish in-person conversations that I would find unpleasant even hurtful. X/Twitter is often a cesspool when it comes to issues I find interesting. And it's owned by the world's richest techno-fascist.
I've never understood the "echo chamber" argument. I see all sorts of stuff on Bluesky that I disagree with, but what I value about the community here is that we all just sidestep such content and move on to something else, rather than turning it into a life or death slanging match.

You really should ask James to come on and explore why Trees and Whales wont alone solve this- and why an immediate and decisive turnaround is now needed.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.
