On Sunday, a day trip to Sydney, where i just managed to make it in time to be part of the welcome for the Rising Tide Sydney paddle out in support of the Global Sumud Flotilla at the Man O'War steps. Too distracted to take proper pics but plenty of others did - will put up links!
Grabbed some lunch with a few of the lovely RT folks afterwards. Then headed to Pitt St Uniting Church with a couple of friends to be part of the pop up choir for peace. #singing #choir #peace #RisingTide

The housing crisis is not a glitch. Fighting it takes a network. Here are the organizations building tenant power in Buffalo.
When facing eviction, code violations, or landlord harassment, the current system relies heavily on tenants feeling isolated. Property owners frequently bank on the fact that an individual renter might lack the resources or the knowledge to fight back alone. A highly effective way to counter that isolation is through organized, cross-community solidarity.
The Rising Tide Fellowship operates within a broader ecosystem of groups working to build working-class power in Western New York. Building a functional defense network means connecting legal aid, mutual aid, and direct action into a cohesive front.
Our digital headquarters serves as a directory to connect you directly with these mission-aligned organizations. While we do not maintain formal or official corporate partnerships with these entities, we consider them vital allies bound by a shared commitment to community sovereignty.
This directory includes legal resources like Neighborhood Legal Services, the Western New York Law Center, and HOME. It also links to on-the-ground organizing groups like the Queen City Workers Center, PUSH Buffalo, and Black Love Resists in the Rust (which is currently sunsetting its operations and not taking on new missions, but remains a highly respected part of our local organizing history).
If you are looking to get involved, or if you are currently facing a hostile property owner and want backup, connecting with the groups already doing the work on the ground is a great first step. You can find direct links to these local allies in our directory.

Some of the non-smudged prints i decided to iron anyway. #craftivism #RisingTide #screenprinting
-
Heat treating some of the screen prints from yesterday (with the iron at home). A couple were smudged (fell off the line) so they're getting done like this (to avoid heating the smudged bits) rather than thrown in all together into a dryer. The hope is that the smudged ink will then come out in the wash. #RisingTide #screenprinting #craftivism

Spent Sunday doing craftivism for Rising Tide at Upcycle, mostly helping screen print on clothing (secondhand or donated). #RisingTide #craftivism

From 2023: Explainer: What are your rights to #protest in #Australia?
by Amal Naser
"Which states have criminalised protest and what forms of protest are criminalised?
"#HumanRights organisations have been increasingly critical towards some Australian states over new legislation which seemingly targets #EnvironmentalProtests in the midst of a global #Climatecrisis.
"There are dozens of protest regulations across many states, with five (#NSW, #Queensland, #SouthAustralia, #Tasmania and #Victoria) introducing forms of #AntiProtest regulation most recently. South Australia's new laws, passed just last month, increase maximum fines from $750 to $50,000 along with potential jail time, and were prompted by disruption of an #OilAndGas conference by protestors in early May.
"In the aftermath of protests which sought to block port operations and shut down economic action to draw attention to demands for climate action, the NSW Parliament passed legislation which could see protestors face up to a $22,000 fine and/or prison for a maximum of two years. The legislation targets individuals who block major roads and new tunnels and/or disrupt #port operations in major ports such as #Newcastle and #PortBotany.
"In 2022, Tasmania passed anti-protest laws by way of the Police Offences Amendment (Workplace Protection) Bill 2022 under the guise of protecting Tasmanian workers. Under these laws, any protestor who obstructs a workplace during protests could face up to 12 months in prison, the Human Rights Law Centre reported:
" '…community member protesting the destruction of #OldGrowthForests on a forestry site could face a penalty of over $13,000 or 2 years in prison; and An organisation supporting members of the community to protest could be fined over $45,000.'
"Similar laws were also passed in Victoria. #AntiLogging protestors who 'hinder, obstruct or interfere with timber-harvesting operations' can face up to 12 months in prison and/or a $21,000 fine. PVC and metal pipes which are often used in protest activities are now prohibited in working sites, with additional powers provided to police to search suspect individuals who are 'reasonably suspicious'.
"In 2019, on public safety grounds, Queensland passed legislation which bans locking devices as modes of civil disobedience. These are tactics used to make it difficult for police to remove protestors and are often used by protestors to lock themselves to property and #pipelines to prevent construction of environmentally-harmful projects. Protestors face up to two years in prison and/or a $6,000 fine. It was rationalised on the basis of activists lacing devices with 'butane canisters' and other devices which were harmful for law enforcement. However, there is no evidence of the use of these devices."

Arrests made as #RisingTide #ClimateChange protesters take to #Newcastle Harbour over #coal exports
"'I strongly support the peaceful protest that's planned here. Consider what the scientists are telling us, look at the agreements we're trying to forge internationally and understand that this is one of the most defining issues of our time." -- #PeterGarrett, #MidnightOil frontman and former environment minister.
By Romy Stephens and Bridget Murphy
November 22, 2024"Activism group Rising Tide says multiple people have been arrested at an anti-fossil fuels demonstration in Newcastle.
"Thousands have attended the multi-day protest, where Midnight Oil front man Peter Garrett delivered a speech and performed.
"The demonstration is expected to continue until Sunday evening."

#Activist, 97, among dozens arrested in #Australia #climate protest
26 November 2023
Sydney, Australia, Nov 26 (EFE).- "Dozens of protesters, including a 97-year-old man, were arrested on Sunday during a #ClimateChange protest off Australia’s east coast that disrupted operations at the country’s biggest coal export port.
"#ClimateActivist group #RisingTide had organized the protest to block the traffic of coal cargo ships in the port of Newcastle since Saturday.
"The group said on its Twitter account that at least 59 people have been arrested so far.
"Since Saturday, groups of 50 to 60 protesters have been taking turns in rostered two-hour shifts getting on canoes and inflatable boats and preventing ships from leaving the port.
"Among the protesters who went out to sea was Alan Stuart, a 97-year-old religious pastor.
"Stuart said he was doing it for his grandchildren and future generations after being pulled out of his boat by the police.
"'I am doing this for my grandchildren and future generations because I don’t want to leave them a world full of increasingly severe and frequent #ClimateDisasters,' he said. 'I am so sorry that they will have to suffer the consequences of our inaction. So, I think it is my duty to do what I can and to stand up for what I know is right.'
"Rising Tide claims that the protest prevented more than half a million tonnes of coal from leaving the Newcastle port by the time the demonstration ended.
"Protesters demand that the Australian government stop all new projects that involve the use of fossil energy and confront the #ClimateCrisis more decisively.
"The climate crisis is one of the big issues of political debate in Australia, a country exposed to the effects of #droughts and #ExtremeTemperatures.
"Australia is the world’s second largest exporter of thermal coal and the largest exporter of cooking coal."

Peaceful coal port protesters prosecuted like bikie gang on bail
"Sixteen Rising Tide protesters who were arrested in a peaceful (and approved) blockade of Newcastle Coal Port on Sunday were held in custody until they agreed to oppressive and unclear bail conditions." Wendy Bacon reports
"If our government fails in that duty to protect my generation against the greed of the coal and gas barons, we have a duty to stand up – because unionists, suffragettes, and civil rights campaigners fought and died for our right to do so."

A #RisingTide of people seeking to put spokes in the wheels of the the #DeathMachine putting corporate profits before a #HabitablePlanet.
#Solidarity and #gratitude to the hundreds of people who used kayaks and their bodies to blockade the world's busiest #coal port for 32 hours this weekend, and to the thousands who supported them, and to the millions who cheered them on, and to the billions for whose sake they were acting.
