Climate justice workshop for young activists

by

When the coronavirus crisis subsides, we still have to deal with the climate crisis. And just like Covid-19, the impacts of climate change fall most heavily on the poorest communities around the world. So we really need to aim for ‘climate justice’. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore what climate justice really means and why the climate movement must take into account how our economic system creates and perpetuates climate change.

Wed 14 October, 6:30-8:30pm, online

Find out more and book your place here.

Event organised by Global Justice Glasgow and Global Justice youth network for young people in Glasgow and across the UK. This event is intended for people under 30.

 

We’re still here

by

Just after we sorted out our website in February, the world took a strange and difficult turn (you might have noticed). So we haven’t been posting updates here, because we haven’t been able to do most of the things we would normally do. But we’re still doing as much campaigning as we can online, so give us a shout if you want to find out more or get involved. And hopefully soon we’ll be able to get back to campaigning in the real world…watch this space.

And we’re back…

Hi folks. If you’ve looked at this page over the last few months you’ll have noticed that it hasn’t changed. Apologies for that – we’ve been having some difficulties with the website and haven’t been able to update it. We’re back to normal now, though, so watch this space for new stuff we’re doing in 2020. And you can always follow us on Facebook for more regular updates.

Glasgow Mela 2019 – Time for a Time Limit

by

Great day at the Glasgow Mela on Sunday, closing out this year’s Refugee Festival Scotland. Refuweegee, Refugee Survival Trust and Scottish Detainee Visitors represented as well.
We collected hundreds of signatures to end the hostile environment around migration. You can sign the petition here:

Also, loads of selfies saying #time4atimelimit and to #endindefinitedetention for migrants in the UK, the only country in Europe where indefinite detention for migrants is still ongoing. Take you own selfie and send it to the Home Secretary and your local MP to call for a 28 day limit on detention.

On the Byres Road outside Hillhead Library on Saturday, 8th June, talking to people about a US-UK trade deal that could see chlorinated chicken on our supermarket shelves, US corporations in our NHS and a whole raft of our laws and regulations challenged in international corporate courts.

With Theresa May stepping down, this is even more likely under her successor.We can’t let that happen. Sign the petition to oppose a toxic US-UK trade deal now:

We also had a visit from Patrick Grady, MP for Glasgow North to give his support!

May Day May Day!

A good day out with our friends from the Unions for the May Day March and Rally earlier this month. Shame there wasn’t more wind to keep the flag flying properly!
