Words alone cannot capture the depth of emotion in this testimony. A voice from the past, once fighting against extremism and fascism, now speaks with heartbreak as history threatens to repeat itself. Watch, listen, and reflect.

Huge news from @clientearth.bsky.social, Greenpeace 🇮🇹, Lipo ODV & WWF 🇮🇹, who have successfully blocked a gas project planned just off the Po Delta next to a Marine Protected Area! This is a crucial win in Italy for #climatechange & the protection of wildlife. www.clientearth.org/latest/news/...

We’ve won in court against the Italian government over a gas project in Italy
The project would have pumped out hundreds of thousands of barrels of gas from the seabed each day – and put dolphins and turtles in grave danger.

The NSW police and transport minister have closed the port of Newcastle and are now tying to stop any kind of protest. They say we are putting ourselves in danger and that’s why they have put in an exclusion zone where we planned to kayak. So much for democracy and the right to protest.
