Thank you for joining!@laartactivism.bsky.social

The bridge offered a visually stunning demonstration platform. We found joy amidst the pain with a street party- dodgers fans supporting as they drove by on the bridge and 4 hours of solidarity honking from the cars below!

Join the Movement | Defend Democracy | Protect our Communities ​

This is horrifying.

Andrew Tonachel's passion and sustained commitment have always been inspiring, as is the work of Greenpeace and all its dedicated warriors.

and lastly "Forty years ago, I was grateful to have colleagues to lean on and hit the streets with. Today, I am heartened by all that each of you do to fight injustice, envision a green, peaceful, and just planet, and be a source of light in your communities and in my life."

more from colleague: Today's threats to environmental activists mirror those of yesteryear. In many countries, standing up for environmental justice is a death sentence, and, everywhere, governments protect corporate rights over human rights and sustainable futures. So, the work continues.

from a colleague: I walked into the Greenpeace Great Lakes canvass office on July 10, 1985 as tearful colleagues pointed to newswire stories. That night, 2 or 3 people closed the door on me saying they don't support Greenpeace because 'they blow up ships'. Tom Marker played "Wooden Ships" on XRT.

Yes, each and everyone of us has a part to play...NOW

We need TRUE reform!!
