Coal worker Zac at #RisingTide on urgent transition ππΌ βWe need to be prepared for it. At the heart of the fears of these people in the industry, that I spend almost every day with, is that their communities will be uprooted, that their livelihoods will be lost.β

The sheer scale of the underlying climate risk could, in the act of disclosure, have a material financial effect, whether driven by disbelief, investor flight to purportedly βsaferβ assets, or some other mechanism. strategicclimaterisks.substack.com/p/are-we-in-...

Handmade screenprinted fabric banner reading "Labor, your climate policy is bullshit!" White text on a blue banner. Mounted on a white gazebo with two blue flags on the corners. One with the rising tide logo, one reading "no new gas".
Handmade sown fabric banner reading "COAL KILLS KIDS" in white text on a black background. Mounted on a white gazebo with lots of white plastic chairs. A blue flag on the gazebo has the rising tide logo.
the 2025 people's blockade was inspiring and incredible as always! thank you to the tireless work of all the organisers and volunteers!
and of course to all of this years 129 arrestees! #RisingTide

Two young white people on the beach, one holding a flag and wearing a Rising Tide shirt, the other wearing swimmers. Happy and excited!
amazing weekend at the #RisingTide #Flotilla #Protest !
three coal ships were turned around and the port was closed!
Excerpt from Guardian liveblog "Fiona Lee, an activist who locked on to a coal conveyor, said she could "not stand by as our government continues to approve the new coal and gas projects that are making these unnatural disasters worse", adding: "It's time that our government starts supporting coal workers by investing in new industries for our region and making coal corporations pay their fair share." NSW police have arrested at least 141 people during the protest this weekend. An official said there have been no additional arrests this morning so far." Photo shows a seated man locked onto infrastructure. He has a Rising Tide flag draped over his knees and holds his right arm up with a raised fist Caption reads: John Wishart, 74.

More actions this morning from the formidable @risingtideaus.bsky.social activists taking the fight for a liveable climate to the world's largest coal export port (in Australia, where PM @albomp.bsky.social last week signed the #BelemDeclaration to phase out Coal, Gas & Oil)

Sixteen #RisingTide peaceful protesters have locked themselves onto coal loading equipment in Newcastle this morning. Civil disobedience is necessary when our governments fail to protect our climate βπ½π

Paddling out at with mates @risingtideaus.bsky.social was fun but Nannas would rather be holding yarn than protest signs.
Get your socks on @albomp.bsky.social Show us Aussies your βpatternβ to get off gas and coal and work together with us and workers to sew a better future.

Great work @greenpeaceap.bsky.social at @risingtideaus.bsky.social blockade of the worldβs largest coal port.
Three ships have now been blocked from entering the port despite heavy police presence.
βAustralia is the worldβs third-largest fossil fuel exporter, and its outsized role in the climate crisis calls for serious action."
Thanks to #RisingTide for taking action.
While governments take fossil fuel industry bribes. #ClimateCrisis #auspol
Wild times as we welcome back todayβs arrestees.
We closed the port today

βAustralia is the worldβs third-largest fossil fuel exporter, and its outsized role in the climate crisis calls for serious action. Every shipment of coal that leaves this port contributes to more devastating bushfires, floods and cyclones.β #RisingTide

Big hugs for Nanna Alex who has just made it back to the beach after her arrest. Sheβs here with @risingtideaus.bsky.social and says she decided to take direct action to stop the coal ships because as a Professor of Public Health she knows the risks. Wake up #auspol #RisingTide #ClimateAction
