If you're a UK citizen or resident, you can add your voice for a real conversion "therapy" ban that doesn't leave out trans people. (Current tally just under 90,000 in one weekend)
The sixth one:
• Make at least one life shift to nudge the system, like moving to a green energy, insulating your home or changing pension supplier
#climatecrisis #environment #climatechange #globalheating #globalwarming
Six lifestyle changes to help avert #climate disaster:
• Eat a plant-based diet
• Buy no more than 3 new items of clothing per year
• Keep electrical products for at least 7 years
• Take no more than 1 short haul flight every 3 years and 1 long haul flight every 8 years
• Get rid of personal motor vehicles if you can. If not, keep your existing vehicle longer

The revised Budapest Convention creates a new baseline of invasive police powers just as the UN prepares to draft a similar cross-border data sharing treaty. We are already advocating for the UN to take a human rights-based approach. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/cross-border-access-user-data-law-enforcement-year-review-2021
Happy new year, everyone! 🥳 🎆

There's a petition to remove Clause 9 from the Nationality and Borders Bill. This is the clause that says government can take people's UK citizenship away without even bothering to tell them.
If it gets 100,000 signatures, Parliament has to debate it. A debate is urgently needed after the Bill was rushed through last night in just a few minutes.
I've been watching the number of signatories climbing this morning and it's already over 42,000. Please sign and share to get it there!
