Over 150 people gathered today for 'Talking Climate, Talking Action' in Oxford today, organised by Oxford Friends of the Earth.
Keynote speeches were given on the state of climate action nationally and locally by Shaun Spiers of The Green Alliance and Sarah Gilbert of Oxfordshire County Council.
Two opposing protest groups gathered on each side of the road. Refugees watched from their windows.

Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.

'I think one day everyone will say that at this time it was they that stuck their hands to the windows of the banks, it was them that protested.
So, to those of you who are actually protesting, thank you very much, I think you are working for all of us!'
Author Roman Krznaric
'Always remember two important words in history are these, as if. Always act as if change is possible...this is what today's climate protestors and all of us have to continue to do even when the stakes of imprisonment are high. Let us fight this unjustice until it ends.'
Oxford folk gather in an act of solidarity with the Palestinians.

My friends are like mountain goats! On Sunday I thought we were going to hike to a mountain top - we, infact, did 4 peaks the highest being 886 metres. We walked for over 7 hours and I did 31,000 steps.
They were wonderful encouraging company. I can't express the thrill of this super sunny day.
A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that
I won't be watching Trump's inauguration on any media today. I admire this lady's work so much. We need bridges not walls, have a look...

'This march is making the connection between the burning of fossil fuels causing mass death around the world and the genocide that is going on in Gaza right now,' says Alex.
