Thank you!

Can I ask what this is?

Five members of biggest British Jewish body suspended after Israel criticisms Elected representatives of Board of Deputies were among signatories of open letter objecting to actions in Gaza Strip

The Board of Deputies has failed to represent the diversity of opinion in our community and to exercise moral leadership in the face of Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestinians in Gaza.

Thank you so much if you can donate. And to multiply the impact even further, please spread this ask with everyone you know who cares about the climate. We at Possible - and the planet - will be incredibly grateful.

But we simply can’t do it without the help of our supporters new and old. We are so grateful for every pound we receive - and the beauty of the Big Give’s doubling is that each donation goes so much further.

Yes, we can find ways to create warm, affordable homes powered by clean energy if we work together as communities. And yes, we can shift away from endless consumerism and waste by making repair and reuse a normal part of our lives.

Yes, we can shift people out of their cars if we’re creating cities which prioritise space for people and nature. Yes, we can reduce demand for flying if we find a fair way to tax the most frequent flyers while making it easier to get on holiday by rail.

Instead, our work at Possible creates positive, practical climate optimism, by demonstrating how the shifts to low-carbon behaviours can be brought about at scale - by making them fair, affordable and desirable.

But if we respond by simply pointing to climate fears - of swathes of the planet becoming unliveable, of irreversible tipping points into runaway global heating - we just don’t cut through and deliver the change we need to see.

Fear from the powerful that they'll lose what they have by creating a fairer, greneer world. As a result, they spread anxiety that by making the changes we know we need to bring about a zero carbon economy, life will get even harder than it already is for so many of us.

In the UK, and globally, it’s a difficult time to be at the vanguard of climate action. The movement to protect our the planet we all share is under attack like never before. And in my view, what underlies these attacks is ultimately fear.

It’s one of the biggest weeks of the year for us @wearepossible.bsky.social. The Big Give - when every pound donated to us is doubled.

So it’s a key time to be making the case about why our work is so important. And I honestly can't really think of a time when our work has been more needed.

‘Enough is enough’ – Leading British Jewish body criticises Israel Health officials in Gaza say that another 22 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes. One of those strikes, in Jabalia in the north, killed three young children from one family.

In light of the cis supremacy ruling in the supreme court I send love and solidarity to all trans people. I feel so useless, but know my rage. I’m so sorry at the cruelty shown towards you in the UK, within your families, on the streets, at work, in healthcare, by our government and the judiciary.

This may be the most surprising, entertaining and educational short-form messaging social media thread I have ever read

Energy security is national security.

GB Energy can help deliver both by scaling homegrown clean power.

If the Chancellor is to cut spending, it’ll leave Britain less secure & more exposed — with households facing higher bills & the betrayal of a popular manifesto commitment.

Rosebank oilfield decision ruled unlawful by Edinburgh court Court of session said UK government go-ahead for Rosebank and Jackdaw permits did not take into account carbon emissions

Breaking: Uplift welcomes a very sensible decision from the Court of Session invalidating the decision to approve the Rosebank oil field. Rosebank is a disaster for the climate & will do next to nothing to create the prosperity & stability that the UK needs.

Thank you Anna! Yes agreed

My gift from the chancellor: a life lesson on going the long way around Chancellors are supposed to give gifts on Budget Day. A penny off your favourite tipple, a change of tax threshold in your favour.

There are no shortcuts in the fight for an economy which delivers climate and social justice goals.

That’s the life lesson I've learned thanks to Rachel Reeves’ comments at Davos last week.

My very personal response to the chancellor’s assertion that growth ‘trumps other things’.

Great and important work

Extreme wealth is extreme control. Never has this been so clear. Well we don’t have to settle for it. In our letter to Davos leaders, 370+ millionaires & billionaires say we must draw the line. Protect ppl, planet, & democracy: rein in extreme wealth & tax us, the super rich.

We’ve achieved a lot in 2024, but more needs to be done.

From the flooding in Spain, to Trump being back in power, the need for climate action has never been greater.
