Hi there,
You may have recently heard that CBS TV and Global Citizens are planning to produce a new TV competition called ‘The Activist’, which will be judged by celebrities Usher, Priyanka Chopra and Julianne Hough.
As a group we’ve been hugely disgusted by this news and so have written an open letter which we’ll be sending to CBS and Global Citizen Execs and to the management of the celebrities involved. We would love it if your group were able to join us in signing this letter so as to send a clear message to those intending on creating this show that, as activists and justice seekers, we want nothing to do with it!
You can find the full letter here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n5r0M0XGsyC6FV9i8VohJ9rSqzRdf7tTK5ULk5OXj6Q/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to share it with your group/ network and please let us know if you’re interested in co-signing it by 6pm BST on Sunday 12th September!
Thanks,
PTM Team

According to the latest Global Witness report, 2020 saw 227 killings of land and environment defenders, many from some of the most impacted peoples and areas. Over half of the attacks took place in only 3 countries: Colombia, Mexico, and the Philippines.

Drought crisis in northern and eastern Kenya
Kenya is facing its worst drought in a decade, with 2.4 million people expected to be going hungry by November. The fast-emerging humanitarian crisis is not only the result of two consecutive poor rainy seasons in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands region – an arc of under-developed territory in the north and east of the county. Needs are compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, insecurity, as well as by pests and diseases. Household maize stocks are well below the five-year average, and both livestock and milk production have fallen, driving up prices. A glut in the livestock market, as people sell off their animals, is further eroding pastoralists’ earnings. They are already forced to walk longer distances in search of water and to forage for their livestock, resulting in a spike in inter-communal tensions. Upcoming short rains, due to fall from October to December, are also forecast to be below average, resulting yet again in poor harvests and worsening livestock conditions next year.

We have to prevent the @ANPgovbr from holding the auction around Fernando de Noronha, thus killing all the biodiversity of the 90 blocks on our coast where there are more than 60 species threatened with extinction. #LeilãoFóssilNão @fridaysfuturebr
