It is disappointing to hear about the reality of indigenous involvement in #COP30 after yesterday's protest

It was moving to be able to work with members of Solidarity Hub, a community from my previous ministry, whilst helping to organise and facilitate the For Goodness Sake gathering in my new(ish!) @publicissues.bsky.social role.
Solidarity as activism: a renewal of togetherness and hope.
Super interesting workshop with our very own Alex Clare-Young
