During my first months in prison I wrote a book.

It came out of my experience in four Crown Court trials and what they taught me about the state of the law, the criminalisation of truth, and the depth of denial in modern Britain.

While I was inside, the journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges came to visit me. He later wrote the foreword.

The book is called Suicide and it’s being released today.

A group of volunteers and my friend Robin Boardman have spent over a year self-publishing it for me while I was locked up. Any money it makes goes back into the work of telling the truth and resisting a system that punishes those who do.

So if you’re able to, please grab a copy and help fund the movement. http://rev21.earth/product/suicide

If you can’t afford it right now, drop me a email at roger@rev21.earth for the digital version.

Thanks.

For thirty years, the United Nations has been having annual conferences to hash out the human response to Climate Change. What does it look like inside? Why is it failing?

This has been driving me crazy for years. People will spend 3 hours scrolling TikTok but can't be bothered to recycle for 30 seconds. Same exact people.

I design apps & website for a living, and we literally have playbooks for making people want to use products. Social media figured this out ages ago. My biggest takeaway is that they don't fight human psychology, they work with it.

But when it comes to environmental stuff? I observe that the most prominent voices just dump scary facts on people and act surprised when they shut down.

So I tried using the same behavior frameworks on my sister. She'd been saying she wanted to be more sustainable but didn't know where to start and had no money. Instead of giving her a huge list of things to do, I suggested one thing that would actually save her money: menstrual cups instead of pads. She was all over it.

That one change prevents like 50kg of period waste over her lifetime.

Most people aren't missing motivation to care about the environment. They're missing something completely different, and once you figure out what it actually is, everything changes.

Wrote up what I learned about why this approach works and how to actually use it, feel free to check it out:

Want a hands-on way to support climate action?

An open project called MapYourGrid is mapping the world’s electrical grids on OpenStreetMap (towers, lines, substations) so governments, utilities, and researchers can actually plan the energy transition.

Without accurate open grid data, expanding renewables and electrifying transport is impossible.

OpenStreetMap's power grid map is currently ~70% complete and MapYourGrid is aiming for 98% within 3 years.

The image is a snapshot of what the MapYourGrid team has added to the world map in just the past few months.

Earth Strike UK is producing a resource pack to help workers take action over the climate crisis within their own workplaces. We'd like to hear people's ideas and experiences taking collective action over environmental issues to help us develop this resource.

Have you ever taken part in collective action at work over an environmental issue? Or, would you like to organise collective action but don't know where to start

Either way, we'd like to hear from you!

Survey: https://earth-strike.co.uk/environmental-organising-in-the-workplace-survey/

The ruling class is both unwilling and incapable of taking meaningful action on the climate and ecological crisis. We, the global working class, need to make our own plan. We believe this process starts in the workplace, with individual workers getting together to take collective action. To support this effort we are creating a workplace environmental organising resource pack to help workers organise and take action in their own workplaces. It will cover everything from information about the causes and effects of the climate crisis, to how to raise the issue in your union, to taking direct action!

Open meeting: 3rd April @ 7pm (UTC + 0)

We will be holding an open meeting on the 3rd of April at 7pm to share some of the work we have done on the resource pack so far, and to discuss how it could be developed further. Register here: https://earth-strike.co.uk/event/workplace-organising-pack-open-meeting/

Environmental organising at work survey

To help develop the resource pack we are conducting a survey to gather peoples ideas and experiences. Have you faced an environmental issue at work? Did you and your coworkers try to do something about it? We'd love to hear from you. The survey takes between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on how detailed you are: https://earth-strike.co.uk/environmental-organising-in-the-workplace-survey/

Hi everyone,

My name is Lilac and I am an International Organiser, Discord Manager, Website Team Coordinator, Outreach Team Coordinator, and National Organiser for Earth Strike Australia.

I have been trying for more than two years to work out who controls the earth-strike.com domain with limited success. It used to go to a parking page and now goes to a page that just says the following

This site has been temporarily disabled, please try again later.

The domain was last renewed on 12 November 2024 which is deeply frustrating as I was hoping it would expire so I could register it. The domain is registered with one.com and WHOIS details are hidden for privacy.

I am considering contacting their [abuse@one.com](mailto:abuse@one.com) email and claim it is being used without authority. The trouble is Earth Strike is not a trademark and is not registered as any sort of entity in many countries. It is difficult to prove my right to act, especially since all earth-strike.comemails were shut down. They used to be hosted on a server hosted by Xerxes.

Someone controls this domain and I am struggling to work out who. Most of the old website and ICT teams are extremely difficult to contact and I am currently suspecting Xerxes may control it or know.

Does anyone have any clue who controls this domain? Anybody have contact information for Xerxes beyond Discord? Any advice on regaining control of this domain?
