A contractor has now set up to start the demolition of St Fitticks Park. All for a so-called "Energy Transition Zone" that is nothing but a cover for an oil billionaire to expand his fossil investments. (1/5)

We come together across our movements โ€“ from Palestine solidarity, migrant justice,
nature protection and for a transition that creates jobs and fights poverty.

We are stronger when we connect our issues and demand justice alongside each other.

Thousands take to streets of Glasgow to highlight 'climate emergency' Demonstrators marched through Glasgow city centre on a day of global action to coincide with the COP30 climate talks in Brazil.

Today we marched in our thousands to say a better world IS possible!

We proved that the energy and enthusiasm to make transformative change happen is there.

We know that the challenges we face, from Glasgow to the Amazon to Palestine, are all deeply connected.
