A few weeks ago I was in Coventry with work for the Climate Change Day Of Action…
You can still get involved, even if you couldn’t make it along on the day!
1. Take the Copenhagen pledge
2. Say no to coal!
3. Find out more about Countdown to Copenhagen
I got to work alongside the photo unit on the day, trying to document the march and the day as it progressed. There are photos in this flickr set. Here’s a few of my favourites…
I’ve been reading Steven Bush’s blog for a while now, and wanted to highlight it to ya a bit… he writes well, he takes the most immense photographs, he has a massive heart for adoption, and for justice for the poor. He recently went to Haiti with Compassion, and following his story has been enlightening.
A few days ago Bush posted about one of his photographs, which is up for sale. ‘The Only Magic I Still Believe In Is Love’ is limited to 150 prints, is on sale for $25, and all the proceeds are going to the Abba Fund.
“This world is a dark and broken place. It is full of hurt and dying people that are imprisoned by the merciless enemy of poverty. Wars, hate, racism, religion, hunger, poverty, and greed encompass a fallen world full of fallen men. There is a lack of faith, hope, and love. There is a need for restoration and renewal. There is a need for justice and change. Many live as if there is nothing left to hope in. Many live as if there is nothing left good to believe in. I have to believe that there is good left in people. I have to believe that we can make a difference. I have to believe that we can bring change to this broken world. I have to believe in justice. I have to believe that there is hope. I have to believe in love.”

First up, happy St Patricks Day!
It’s one of those days when EVERYONE is Irish… your grannys cat was Irish? Of course, you must be Irish too! This time last year I had just returned from the US, including a week and a bit in Chicago which goes all out & dyes its river green for St Pats…
I’m hopping on another train this afternoon to go to Coventry. Why? Good question. Christian Aid are partnering with a few other organisations to host a Climate Change Day of Action on Thursday in Coventry. It looks like a great day so far, with a service in Coventry Cathedral where we’ll hear from renowned NASA scientist James Hansen among others, followed by a protest in the streets of Coventry.
There’s still time to come along if you’d like to! Find out more here.
Great new animation from the Stop AIDS campaign…
Been lovin’ this…!
