Yep, I got arrested trying to block a coal ship in the world’s largest coal port and I’m proud as fuck, give all your love to the protest organisers. I’ve talked about it a ton over in this thread (and a few others in similar communities). I was joined by a handful of other people, including a student doctor who is in this photo but hard to see, she’s on my right in the shade. She’s so damn brave and a huge inspiration.

This took place at the People’s Blockade, an annual “protestival” organised by a group called Rising Tide.

I’m the (misgendered 😡) 27 year old in this article.

170 people then set a new record for the largest civil disobedience action in Australian history the following day, they’re all incredibly brave people who have had enough.

We fought the government in court and won the right to protest against the fossil fuel corporations who are burning our children’s futures. We also fight to secure the future jobs of the workers in these industries, demanding a 78% tax on current fossil fuel projects to help them in the transition to a renewable future.

It’s been a long few days, I’ve just arrived home about half an hour ago. Goodnight.
