🪖🇺🇸 EARTH'S GREATEST ENEMY, a film by Abby Martin 🪖🇺🇸
INVITATION TO SCREENING CO-SPONSORED BY RISING TIDE CANBERRA (Dendy Cinema, 5:45pm Friday 5 June)
Brought to you by IPAN (Independent and peaceful Australia Network) and Rising Tide.
Documenting the environmental cost of history's biggest empire.
It’s Planet Earth vs the US Military - we need to reject the hidden costs of this global military empire and its horrific planetary consequences.
➡️ More info & get your tickets here: bit.ly/ege-tickets ⬅️We see every day the latest horrors of full scale war. Whether in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran or Ukraine, thousands of people are being murdered by military machines. At the same time almost unbelievable environmental destruction is caused. We in Australia are deeply involved - US bases in Australia send targeting data to the US military. Worldwide military activities add more than one twentieth of the total greenhouse gases to our atmosphere each year, much of it coming from the US military.

[IMPORTANT NOTE: to allow for attendance at the screening, the fortnightly RT social gathering scheduled for 5 June has been cancelled]

**Paddle for the Planet!**
Where? Horseshoe Beach, Newcastle
When? 14 Nov, 1000-1500hrsA one-day, family-friendly flotilla at the World’s Largest Coal Port
🛶 BYO vessel if you can, or borrow one of ours.
🪧 Speeches.
🌮 Food trucks.🌏 Together, let’s get MORE VESSELS OUT THAN EVER BEFORE – to demand new jobs and funding for coal workers and a safe, liveable climate for everyone.
As the world's attention once again turns to the urgent challenge of climate action, and world leaders gather for the annual United Nations climate talks (COP31) we will once again show what genuine climate leadership and decisive action look like.‼️ Please note: this is not a civil disobedience protest, meaning there will be no arrests. Instead, the aim of this day is to maximise the number of people and vessels on the water to create a powerful image of the HUGE public demand for a transition plan and a positive future beyond coal.

**PSA - Rising Tide 2026/27 Strategy Webinar. Online 1 Jun.**
In 2025, Rising Tide achieved things we never had before — including our biggest, boldest and most disruptive People’s Blockade yet. We showed that people-powered resistance is growing, and that escalating climate action is not only necessary, but possible.
Now, we’re preparing for the next phase.
Recently, we’ve created some big plans for 2026 and 2027 and on June 1 we’re holding a webinar to tell you all about them!

More great Insta pics of the Sydney paddle out to support the Global Sumud Flotilla. The Red Rebels were part of the welcome rally - so dramatic, emotional and compelling. Love that the soundtrack for the photos has Zack Schofield singing a sea shanty, as he does so well. Wishing Zack, and all who continue to sail with the flotilla, safe journeys. #globalSumudFlotilla #RisingTide #RisingTideSydney

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

Before the swim, an afternoon of craftivism: helping with banner and placard painting for Rising Tide events, including the paddle out on Sunday in support of the Global Sumud Flotilla. #RisingTide #FreePalestine #GlobalSumudFlotilla

My fellow activists at Rising Tide have been very kind and thoughtful. They videoed a lovely get well message at the last meeting (which i had missed due to the surgery).
They also sent me food (a heap of yummo soups) and the lovely person who dropped it off also brought some flowers from her garden.
Just ate some of the pumpkin and lentil soup - the best thing! Such a gorgeous caring bunch of people.

"Climate Respect" indeed. Nice piece of irony.

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.

Solidarity, not charity: A comprehensive guide to food access and mutual aid in Buffalo.
When systemic safety nets fall short, the community steps in. Building real neighborhood power begins with ensuring our neighbors have their basic material needs met. Whether it is finding a safe place during a winter freeze or accessing fresh groceries for the week, mutual aid functions as the lifeblood of a resilient city.
We compiled a wide-ranging directory of food access and emergency resources directly into The Rising Tide Fellowship Linktree. This list connects you to the Buffalo Community Fridges, local neighborhood pantries, FeedMore WNY, SNAP resources, and emergency Code Blue shelters.
Experiencing food insecurity or needing a warm place to stay is a structural failure of the current economy, not a personal flaw. Mutual aid is about neighbors helping neighbors survive an extractive system.
If you or someone you know is looking for support, or if you are an organizer looking for local initiatives to plug into and help distribute resources, you can find the direct links in our digital headquarters.

Stop begging for repairs. How Buffalo tenants are using Article 7-D and pocket escrows to fight back.
With roughly 20,000 people facing eviction proceedings in Buffalo recently, and tens of thousands more dealing with severe neglect, the scale of predatory housing is staggering. Many corporate property owners treat our neighborhoods as extraction portfolios while treating residents as disposable income streams.
Under New York State law (Article 7-D), tenants possess the power to affirmatively sue their landlords for repairs and rent abatements. Instead of waiting for an eviction notice to defend yourself, you can take the offensive. A key tactic in this process is the "pocket escrow." Rather than paying a neglectful owner, a tenant places their rent money into a separate, dedicated savings account. This keeps the funds secure and ready to produce in court when a judge asks for proof of funds, protecting the tenant while stopping the flow of profit to the slumlord.
We highly recommend securing legal representation before taking these steps. Buffalo is home to excellent resources like the Western New York Law Center, Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, Neighborhood Legal Services, Center for Elder Law & Justice, and the Volunteer Lawyers Project. However, with the sheer volume of housing cases, these organizations frequently reach capacity. When free legal aid is full, tenants can explore private contingency firms or prepare to file pro se (representing yourself).
Individual lawsuits are a start, but true leverage comes from collective numbers. Building a citywide tenant union provides the power to pass strong Good Cause Eviction protections, similar to the blueprint recently established in Rochester. Part of this fight is redefining the narrative. A true "small landlord" is an individual who lives in one half of a duplex and rents out the other unit. An owner renting out a non-owner-occupied single-family home, or an owner-occupied triplex, is operating a real estate portfolio.
The Rising Tide Fellowship is helping neighbors navigate these systems step-by-step. Check out our Linktree to connect with our network, find direct links to free legal aid providers, and link up with allied organizations building tenant power across the city.

From an activist within the #RisingTide
#Canberra network:Hi all, just sending this as a final reminder, I would also be really chuffed if you would share it
WHAT: Rally against militarism and the Australian military establishment
WHEN: 18th of February at 4:30
WHERE: Outside the Hyatt hotel
Australia's most senior representatives of the defence establishment will gather at the Hyatt hotel to complain Australia is not spending enough money on murder. They'll be talking about vital topics like supporting imperialism - Australian, American and Israeli - and the need to spend $350,000,000,000 (about 32,000 dollars per Australian household) on nuclear submarines. We want to put on a reception to give them some feedback about how we feel.
We'll be meeting at 4:30 on the 18th at the bus stop outside the Albert Hall. Your attendance would be greatly appreciated, but any help you could give us in building the rally would be tremendous - texting friends and spreading this message on to further chats [Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal etc.] would all be an enormous help.
Feel free to share publicly!

Rising Tide's 10 principles are up on their website so yeah, i had read them before joining the local hub and the blockade. And it was all stuff i was really happy to support like a commitment to non-violence.
Some i'd liked but had totally forgotten about by now like helping each other learn and grow! So a reminder was very timely. #RisingTide #activism #environmentalActivism

The Peoples Blockade of Newcastle Port begins!
