OCCUPIED by Glen Neath and John Jordan is an audio drama come documentary. It uses recordings from the UK Uncut occupation of Fortnum & Mason and Occupy London Stock Exchange starting the camp outside St Pauls Cathedral. John, and also the director and soundperson were arrested along with everyone else in Fortnums. This play tells their story as they fail to complete the original project commissioned by BBC radio about Emma, a ‘fictional’ young woman from middle England getting turned on to political activism.

Peaceful Uprising

Founded by the now infamous Tim DeChristopher, Peaceful Uprising is one of the US’s most critical climate justice organizations. Dedicated to fighting for climate justice through non-violent direct action, they are at the heart of the US climate movement. Their brave acts of civil disobedience over the past years have pushed the entire movement to toughen up. Without their groundbreaking efforts, the mass actions around the Keystone pipeline would never have happend.

Now, this pivotal group is in need of our support. In recent weeks, it has come to light that their fiscal sponsor, International Humanities Center, has embezzled not only their money but that of over 200 other groups. They are in need of funds fast to keep their organization going. Please give what you can and spread the word. Keep the heart of US climate direct action beating!
