Hundreds of young activists joined an inspiring Youth Climate Strike in Santa Rosa, to demand action on climate change.
This North Bay strike was organized by young climate activists Lucy London and Kelley Tillman, along with their peers at the Novato High Earth Club. They gave speeches, sang together, made posters, marched on City Hall and created a beautiful mosaic to honor mother earth.
Over a million students around the world skipped school this Friday to protest government inaction on climate change, with thousands of rallies in 125 countries, making it the largest youth climate action in history.
Their peaceful demonstration in Santa Rosa was very moving: these young people are sweet, smart, articulate, dedicated and they share an amazing creative energy and love for the earth. I want to be like them when I grow up!
Our Green Change team supported their youth action by providing a sound system, a large earth globe, and shooting videos and photos of their uprising. Thanks to our crew members Sarah Acker and Marilyn Price for their invaluable support of this important cause. :)
In coming weeks, I will create a special video story featuring Lucy, Kelley and their friends for Climate Heroes, our new series on the new leaders of the green revolution.
Even though this was a youth-led event, they welcomed the help of adult allies like us. It was a pleasure to join forces with these young leaders to fight for climate action together, across generations!

Este sábado 29 de noviembre Igualdad Animal México estaba realizando una protesta pacífica frente a la puertas del Circo Kenia en Tonalán, México. Varios trabajadores del Circo Kenia estuvieron durante el tiempo que duraba la protesta increpando e insultando a los activistas. Uno de ellos empezó a intimidar a una de las voluntarias de Igualdad Animal y cuando otro activista le pidió que la dejara en paz, fue golpeado por el trabajador del circo dejándole inconsciente.
La policía y una ambulancia se desplazaron hasta el lugar, mientras el agresor se escondió dentro del Circo Kenia. Cuando se requirió su presencia para tomar declaración se dio a la fuga. Tras ser atendido en la ambulancia, el activista recobró completamente la consciencia y se recuperó. Igualdad Animal México ha denunciado lo sucedido y espera que se localice al agresor para que lo sucedido no quede impune.
No es la primera vez, ni tristemente será la última en la que activistas de derechos animales son agredidos por trabajadores de circo, taurinos o cazadores. Quienes utilizan la violencia contra los animales también la utilizan contra quienes los defienden pacíficamente. Parece ser que es el único lenguaje que conocen.
La protesta de Igualdad Animal México forma parte de su campaña por el fin de los circos con animales, que está teniendo un gran impacto en la sociedad mexicana. Realizando investigaciones que documentan la situación de los animales en los circos, protestas pacíficas a las puertas de los mismos para concienciar a la ciudadanía e inciativas legislativas, han conseguido que el pasado 20 de noviembre, en la sesión de Comisión de Puntos Constitucionales en el Congreso del Estado de Jalisco, fuera aprobada la iniciativa de ley para prohibir el uso de animales en circos en el estado. Una iniciativa que fue impulasada gracias al trabajo de Igualdad Animal México en colaboración con las asociaciones Justicia y Dignidad Animal, A.C., Adopta Guadalajara y Red pro Gato.

National day of action against Bill C-51, the proposed anti-terrorism act. A large group gathered in front of City Hall to protest the government's potential ease of gathering and keeping personal information; of targeting aboriginals, environmental activists, Canadians Muslims, and immigrants in general; and the increased power of CSIS to police and arrest based on government speculation.

Good Read article for Mollie Makes craft magazine (issue 57)
Wear your heart on your sleeve A hand-stitched green heart can help us all protect us our beautiful world and secure a safer future for the next generation of crafters.
Words by Sarah Corbett.
Our world is amazing. It blooms with remarkable people, with art that can make us laugh, cry and even change our world view, with technology that can connect us to our loved ones on the other side of the world… and have you noticed there is a little thing many of us love called Pinterest that can nourish us with beauty and new ideas (as well as distract us for hours!)? The growth in social enterprises and cooperatives are showing us that business can benefit people and the planet, not just profit. I could go on.
But then there is the elephant in the room: climate change. When I worked for Christian Aid, I met people in Kenya affected directly by global warming. I’m sure we have all listened to the warnings. It can feel overwhelming: too complicated, too many problems to overcome. But now there is an opportunity for us craft-lovers to be eco-warriors rather than weary worriers.
At the end of this year global leaders will meet in Paris for the UN climate talks to sign new agreements on climate change and sustainable development, agreements that will determine what kind of future we are shaping for our children. We need our leaders to show vision and ambition to create a better future and that’s why I’m writing this ‘Good Read’ in this issue.
We are changeMAKERS
I founded the Craftivist Collective five years ago to create resources to help me and other people do effective and gentle activism using craft as the tool. I was - and am - inspired by life-changing activists such as the suffragettes, who gained votes for women, and Nelson Mandela, who ended apartheid: people who showed that campaigning works. Over the years of honing my craft in strategic activism through needlework I’ve noticed that we crafters can have real impact. Politicians and businesses take note when we stand up for what we believe: our craftivism gifts for influential people can encourage them to be the change they wish to see in the world. The time and thought that goes into our craftivism pieces shows genuine commitment and questioning. The media want to cover our attractive campaigning, people nervous of activism join our stitch-ins, and passers-by are intrigued by our craftivism.
The Climate Coalition, the UK’s largest group of people dedicated to action on climate change, launched their “For The Love Of Climate” campaign this year. They have 11million supporters through a network of over 100 organisations from environmental and development charities to unions, faith, community and women’s groups. We thought craftivists and craft lovers would be a good addition and Clare Fussell, Campaigns Manager at The Climate Coalition, agrees: “Unless world leaders know that people from across the world with different passions, hobbies and backgrounds all care, they won't have the mandate to take strong action on climate change. Wae all need to be climate changeMAKERS.”
So... for the love of our world
Let’s re-imagine how we can live and help world leaders recreate our world. Join us. To make and wear your green handmade heart on your sleeve is a small, positive, beautiful and therefore influential and powerful act for at least three reasons: It’s personal. Craftivism is a thoughtful approach to activism: it’s about slowing down, using the comfort of craft to really grapple with world issues and think critically about how we can help solve them, from changing our habits and consumer choices to adding our voice to campaigners before the Paris UN climate talks. Craft can be a catalyst for open, honest and friendly discussion. By stitching what you love on your heart banner (bluebells, bumblebees or even beautiful buttons!) you are showing people that you are genuinely concerned about our world, not ignoring the problem.
Craftivists unite. Make your hearts as attractive and intriguing as possible, wear them every day, share them online with us. Let’s create an aspirational vision of our world to excite, empower and encourage others to pick up their craft tools and join us. Seeing your heart on your sleeve alongside so many others is inspiring and should entice them to join.
So pick up your fabric scissors, and start shaping the future of our world into a more sustainable, beautiful place for all. Craft alone or with friends, family, or even set up a public stitch-in and bring the discussion to passersby and at other events.

Con puerto base en Valparaíso, la Escuadra Nacional es la principal y más importante Fuerza Operativa de la Institución, estando conformada por buques de combate y de apoyo logístico.
La Escuadra tiene la capacidad de operar en alta mar, con buques con características oceánicas, que le permiten cumplir con el rol de control y fiscalización en las 200 millas, además de resguardar los intereses nacionales en sus territorios insulares oceánicos, como Isla de Pascua y Juan Fernández. En apoyo a la Política Exterior del Estado, la Escuadra permite la participación activa de sus unidades en esfuerzos internacionales por promover y mantener la paz y la estabilidad en las regiones donde los intereses nacionales estén proyectados.
Desde el año 2003, la Escuadra se encuentra inmersa en un proceso de renovación del material a flote, mediante la incorporación de buques de segunda mano provenientes de la Real Armada Británica y la Real Armada de los Países Bajos. Este proceso finalizará durante el presente año, con la incorporación de la FF “Almirante Condell”, quedando así la Escuadra compuesta por las siguientes unidades: la FF “Almirante Williams”, tipo 22 batch 2; la FF “Almirante Cochrane”, la FF “Almirante Lynch” y la antes mencionada FF “Almirante Condell”, fragatas antisubmarinas del tipo 23, todas ellas de origen inglés; por las FF “Almirante Blanco Encalada” y “Almirante Riveros”, fragatas multipropósito tipo “M”; las FFG “Almirante Latorre” y “Capitán Prat”, tipo “L”, antiaéreas, las cuatro de procedencia holandesa; el remolcador de flota “Galvarino” y el petrolero “Araucano”, estando el reemplazo de este último en fase de proyecto.
