Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me?

The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

Oh yes please, this would be such a great project. It would be amazing for Halifax, and would be another magnet to draw in people from out of town (like the Piece Hall does). I couldn't imagine a better custodian than Reece either, so fingers crossed something comes of this!
