“I'm here because I cant sit at home anymore and be angry about the global chaos that has preceded over my life time, without taking direct action. This chaos has been caused by government and corporate greed and corruption, putting profit before people and planet, always. Whether it's cutting funding to the NHS, fire services, social care, or systematic and institutional racism. Building oil pipe lines through pristine nature reserves, historic theft of indigenous lands that is continuing till this very present day. Or the oppression of women under a patriarchal, capitalist, white supremacist regime. I am compelled today and every day to take direct action against the government, their agents, and the bloated multinational corporations due to their inaction to ease the suffering and oppression off our global community.
Storm the fence.”
