Rising Tide 2025 - Newcastle

Second Day of Blockade.

More coal ships delayed, and a lot of committed protesters making it happen. Awesome work from so many people.

Rising Tide 2025.

The crew from Discobedience working the crowd up for another day of solidarity and protest.

The Peoples Blockade of Newcastle Port begins!

A great turn out, amazing energy, and anecdotal reporting that a coal ship has been delayed! ✊

A completely OTT police response (the cops have their own special operation for this activity) and only two 'pro coal' counter protesters seen so far.

Climate protesters block Port ...

Feeling a bit warm today? Yeah, me too.

We don’t have to just sit by and quietly hope the decision makers do the right thing. We can all be part of making change happen.

I’ll be back in Newcastle to join Rising Tide’s blockade of the world’s biggest coal port next week, 22-24 November, alongside my friends Rebecca Vassarotti, Jo Clay and thousands of others.

See you there?

This just posted on Rising Tide's Facebook page:

"Over 100 people are risking arrest by continuing to blockade the coal port. Police have told protestors that they’re breaching section 15A of the Maritime Safety Act by remaining in the shipping channel."
