    During the trial, the prosecution alleged that the six defendants entered the factory with sledgehammers, intending, if needed, to injure and incapacitate security guards.

    But the defendants disputed that the sledgehammers were “weapons of offence”, and insisted they were intended only to damage property.

    As the verdicts were being read, the defendants held hands and embraced in the dock, as families and supporters cheered and wept.

    The six defendants have been held for around 18 months on remand- exceeding standard #UK custodial time limits.

    Last year, the pro-#Israel regents of #UniversityOfMichigan (U-M) ignited controversy by recruiting State Attorney Gen. #DanaNessel to crack down on campus #Gaza protesters. Now, members of U-M’s Board of Regents are making large donations to Oakland Cty. Prosecutor Karen McDonald, a candidate who may replace Nessel.

    McDonald is the prosecutor in a wealthy suburban county north of Detroit. She also received the highest level of corporate donations from the state’s largest businesses and executives, and is viewed as the establishment choice to replace #Nessel.

    " Federal and local law enforcement officers smashed their way into the #Michigan homes of pro-#Palestine student organizers on Wednesday in what the state attorney general's office said was a vandalism probe—but critics called an attack on dissent against #Israel's genocidal assault on #Gaza.

  5. Not everyone is prepared to do #DirectAction and risk arrest. However, that doesn't mean you can't get involved. Some good tips here for anyone who is new to #activism, or who wants to learn more...

    "Here in the United States, a common place to start researching #environmentalism is in the works of #AldoLeopold, #RachelCarson, and #EdwardAbbey. Although the work of these authors is undeniably crucial to understanding the landscape of modern environmentalist thought, it’s only a skim of the surface of the centuries of work done by #Indigenous leaders to protect and conserve #Earth and the natural resources we can’t live without –– the water we drink, the air we breathe."

    by Deanna Pratt | Mar 7, 2020

    "Putting yourself out there and standing up for something you believe in can be really intimidating. Especially if you’re an introvert.

    "Inside of most environmental activists and organizers –– including myself –– there’s an intense battle raging on between our passion for environmental justice and our fear of being seen and heard. It takes an immense amount of vulnerability to put your most intimate beliefs and worldviews out in the open for the world to see.

    "Despite that, we still choose to post on social media, attend rallies, and organize community meet-ups and events because we know it’s what we have to do in the face of the climate crisis.

    "If you’re someone who wants to get involved in environmental activism but, you’re not sure how to comfortably start, this guide is for you.

    "Here are three steps you can take to progressively ease into environmental activism and community outreach."
