https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/03/scottish-seabird-hunt-cancelled-for-first-time-in-400-years. "A controversial #Scottish #seabird #hunt has had its licence refused for the first time in 400 years, in what #campaigners have called a 'victory for common sense'. I'm VERY pleased to hear it! This should have happened before now, & it's appalling to think that it's been allowed to go on for so long.

"Disabled #campaigners have appealed to an MP not to use her #success in the private members’ #bill #ballot to launch a new bid to #legalise #assisted #suicide. Not Dead Yet UK hand-delivered a #letter to the #constituency #office of #Labour MP Lauren Edwards on Saturday, asking her to take forward a bill on #palliative #care rather than one that would legalise assisted #dying."

"A new disabled-led #scheme in #Wales is set to provide a 'bridge for #disabled people' who are facing lengthy #delays with their #Access to #Work #applications. Disabled #campaigners have been raising the alarm for months about the backlogs plaguing the Access to Work (AtW) #system."

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/25/uk-urgently-install-air-conditioning-in-schools-care-homes-climate-campaigners-say. Who are these so-called #climate #campaigners, @guardian? The #IPPR? Since when have THEY been "climate campaigners"? Accurate, truthful #journalism WOULD be appreciated, instead of this great steaming pile of horse manure! #Air #conditioning will only make matters WORSE, by increasing #carbon #emissions! If the IPPR are calling for this, they are calling for the wrong thing, & they are NOT climate campaigners!

"Children are reporting #online #sextortion attempts in record numbers in the #UK, as #campaigners urge #tech #companies to do more to stamp out the #crime... Sextortion is the term for when a person is manipulated into sending an explicit #selfie or #video to a #predator, who then threatens to publish it online unless the #victim sends #money or further #intimate #images. Boys aged 14 to 17 accounted for 98% of the #blackmail #victims."

https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/apr/06/compensation-victims-crime-capped-great-britain-lifetime-care. "A 30-year freeze on compensation for #victims of #crime should be lifted, #campaigners have said, adding that the maximum of £500,000 is insufficient to plan for a #lifetime." The sum should at least be raised to account for #inflation, surely?

you're not a #feminist if you're not #organized. developing a feminist #consciousness, reading feminist #books and espousing feminist #beliefs is good but you are not a feminist if you are not getting an #activist training, if you arent getting in touch with feminist #campaigners, especially older feminists, if you dont show up to feminist events and help develop feminist spaces yourself. you wont #liberate #women on #twitter

The US election is on a knife edge.
My trip to Georgia showed how easily it could end in tragedy
To my right: a cluster of #election #conspiracy #theorists who still believe Donald Trump won in 2020.
To my left, a group of #voting #rights #campaigners, singing an old spiritual popularised during the civil rights era.
They were here to observe
🔥last-minute efforts by hard-right officials to alter the way in which votes will be counted next month.The measures, many say, will sow doubt in this crucial swing state, 🆘creating chaos that is likely to favour Trump.
A man wearing a Trump T-shirt had weaved his way into the voting rights group
– most of whom were Black
– and was grinning with satisfied amusement.Others started hanging pro-Trump flags behind them as police officers intervened.
The conspiracy theorists
– mostly white
– pointed and laughed -

" #Environmental #campaigners filmed, #threatened and #harassed at #Cop28
#Indigenous campaigners, #HumanRights defenders and #climate #activists say they are being silenced by fear of reprisals - “In the last few years, we’ve seen #Indigenous representatives being filmed by people related to government institutions while giving statements about human rights at #UN events, or photographed just for being present at a UN event,” said Lola García-Alix, the global governance senior adviser for the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs.
“We’ve witnessed people working closely with governments physically corner and encircle Indigenous representatives in UN meetings. Such acts of intimidation have drastic effects back home, where Indigenous people sometimes face reprisals, including being questioned, harassed or detained.
“While many of these incidents happened in UN human rights events, such as the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, this worrying trend is expanding,’ García-Alix said. “We recently saw intimidation tactics at Cop in #Dubai where several Indigenous people from one country were intimidated by people working closely with that country’s government."

“Land reform #campaigners have challenged claims that #Scotland has to rely on multimillionaires spending up to £2bn on new forests and peatlands to rescue the country from the #climatecrisis.
An analysis by Community Land Scotland accuses NatureScot, the conservation agency, of using crude and unsubstantiated figures to call for a big increase in private funding to reforest the Highlands and uplands.” #reforestation #landreform #conservationhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/aug/19/reforesting-scotland-private-funding-land-reform

He continues:
