Continued inaction on climate change is impacting communities and ecosystems across the north. One of these affected communities is Santa's workshop.
"I just don't know what to do" said Santa, "the ice is breaking up, the reindeer (caribou) can't find food, and the elves are absolutely distraught."
Members of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition helped Santa, his elves, the caribou and the polar bears reach the federal government by setting up a homeless shelter outside Environment Minister Rona Ambrose's constituency
office.
After being red-tagged by the city due to continued inaction by the church's out-of-state owners, the church was ultimately demolished in May 2024.

Comenzando un buen graffiti que pintamos con Defos, dio mucho que hablar esta producción, además era la primera fusión que hacíamos entre los dos.
Esto fue en el año 1999 para una actividad que organizo La Casa de la cultura de Recoleta.
Saludos para Miguel Osorio y Tito por el apoyo.

Creo este espacio solo para poder mostrar mis trabajos que han permanecido en álbunes muy celosamente cuidados, en el cual guarde fotos de mis comienzos en el graffiti desde 1993 hasta estos años, colocare imágenes actuales y también las mas antiguas aunque en estos tiempos no sean de mi agrado pero tienen un gran valor sentimental por mis comienzo en esto que me a dado mas que amigos y experiencias... un estilo de vida.

...for some reason, my partner seems to be liking taking pictures of me while I'm....taking pictures!...I was surprised to see how concentrated I appear....like there is nothing else but the image to be captured at that moment....
"Heart of my heart, Love will never die." - "Willow"
Our friends at Silence is Violence have asked for a call to action to make the point that New Orleanians are tired of the inaction when it comes to making our city streets a safer place to enjoy. We are surrounded by violence and little seems to be happening to ensure public safety. There are many culprits in why this systemic failure continues to occur and while we'd like to point fingers at all of the particular leaders who day after day do nothing, it would get us no further. In the spirit of NoLA Rising, we plan to take action through art!
NoLA Rising is honored to announce a Paint Party at the house of Susan "Willow" Schroeder, who tragically lost her son to murder in 2001. To lift her out of her grief, she painted a work of love in dedication to her son David, making her home a beautiful expression of the love she felt for him. Sadly, Willow's tale is like so many other New Orleans crime tales, where no one has even been arrested in the shooting death of her son.
The tragedy doesn't end there, however. Willow and her partner Feather, have had to endure discrimination for all of the emotions that have been painted out. One neighbor has tried consistently to have the house cited and actively researches ways to fine them. Quoted in the Times-Picayune, the neighbor questioned: "Does a grieving mother have the right to deface public property because her son died?" because she painted the sidewalk immediately in front of her house. New Orleans is a city that welcomes unique forms of expression and NoLA Rising believes that this is a house worthy of such expression.
Long keeping in the philosophy that "Art can heal the wounded soul!", NoLA Rising sees the individual struggle of a loving mother a perfect place to host a paint party against the senseless acts of violence in New Orleans. It's a way to create something beautiful out of tragedy and I can think of no other way to voice opposition to the lackluster response of those responsible for maintaining public safety. We will also be joined by our friends at United For Peace who will also be creating artwork for a fundraiser to build a center for mothers and families of those lost to tragic violence.
Please, honor a fallen son and a fallen brother by joining NoLA Rising and United for Peace at David's House in the 3000 block of St. Peter around noon, Saturday, January 10th (2009) for a paint party. Bring your paints and prepare to make artwork that can proudly be displayed outside of homes across this city. Make artwork that inspires change! Let your voice be heard through artistic expression. Let the leaders of the city know that you will no longer tolerate the scourge of violence that plagues New Orleans. Paint the change you wish to see!
A few months ago a group of grass root climate organisations decided we should hold a local event: a #Racetozero emissions while #COP26 was on in Glasgow. And so the idea of the #morelandclimatecup was born. This is around the time of the Melbourne CUP spring racing festival, so it works off the back of 'CUP' fever here in Melbourne.
Of course Prime Minister Scott Morrison repeatedly saying “it’s not a race” regarding vaccine rollout got our goat up. The vaccination rollout was always a race against the virus in this pandemic. It’s also a race to decarbonise to avoid climate impacts and locking in tipping points in the planet’s climate system. Australia is on the wrong track expanding fossil fuel production, the net zero ‘plan’ announced in Glasgow is full of magical technology thinking and solutions like CCS that have so far been an enormous failure, but are there to delay action.
There are still public health regulations in force for Victoria for public gatherings (up to 30 fully vaccinated people may gather in public) We had event pre-registration and event QR code and set about organising this as a decentalised protest across Moreland, keeping within Covidsafe guidelines..
We held three separate events at the same time around Moreland: at Brunswick, Coburg and Newlands. What unites us all is the #MorelandClimateCup hashtag and common demands.
Climate Coalition of Moreland organised these events. Climate Action Moreland, XR Moreland, StopAdani Moreland Neighbours United for Climate Action, ACF Community Melbourne NxNW all involved.
Today is also the #GlobalDayofAction organised by the COP26 Coalition organising outside #COP26Glasgow calling for #climatejustice
Our Demands:
1. 100% renewable energy by 2030 – End public funding of coal, oil and gas.
2. Expand public transport networks & bike paths to encourage people to reduce car use. Shift vehicles to electric.
3. Address the biodiversity Crisis, fund species conservation to prevent extinctions. End Native Logging by 2024. Implement Australian Trees and Biodiversity Plan to reduce climate pollution by at least 1 billion tonnes by 2030.
4. Australia to contribute its fair share of global climate finance to support low-income countries implementing climate action.
5. Climate justice means creating alternative jobs for fossil fuel workers and their communities, funding Indigenous-led land management with jobs on country to repair ecosystems, reduce emissions and reduce fire risk.
6. Make the climate criminals pay. Put a levy on fossil fuel companies to help pay for the crisis.
7. Phase out gas in Moreland

Alton Gallery, Echuca. Former Baby Health Care Centre, Alton Reserve, Hare Street, Echuca.
The health of mothers and infants became of increasing concern in the first decades of the twentieth century. The early baby health movement was driven by committed volunteers frustrated at government inaction. Dr Isabella Younger Ross (1887-1956) who had studied infant health in England helped set up Victoria's first baby health clinic in Richmond in 1917. By 1918 the voluntary Victorian Baby Health Centres Association (VBHCA) was formed to oversee the growing number of centres. Financial support also came from local councils and in 1926 the State government formed the Infant Welfare Section of the Public Health Department and appointed Dr Vera Scantlebury Brown as the first Director.
The first Baby Health Centre in Echuca was conducted from two small rooms in the Town Hall between 1925 and 1950. By 1947 the rooms were insufficient for the needs of the service. In the following year, despite severe post-war labour and material shortages, the Committee of the Baby Health Centre embarked on a fund-raising campaign for a new building, supported by the Echuca Rotary Club. The council provided land on Alton Reserve situated at the end of the commercial centre of the town, but provided no funding for the building. The committee took advantage of the newly introduced State Government construction subsidy of $1000 and the building was eventually completed by voluntary labour, donated materials and funds from individuals and local businesses and organisations. The building, opened by Dr. A. E. (Betty) Wilmot, Acting Director of the Maternal and Child Hygiene Section of the Health Department on 30 September 1950, is one of the first centres to be completed in country Victoria after World War Two. The architect for the building is unknown.
In plan form the domestic-scale building is symmetrically arranged with double door entrances accessed by porches on either side of a central, projecting waiting room. The entrances and pram porches were specifically designed to provide easy pram access, as well as space for pram parking. Other rooms include the consulting suite, as well as a utility room, kitchen, toilet, tools and wood room. Domestic in scale and design, the centre resembles a house typical of the austere period after the Second World War. The style can be described as Post-war Functionalist or Post-war Austere. The hipped roof is tiled, the brick fabric is rendered (now painted white), and the windows metal framed. The porches are semi-circular, with sections of glass bricks and double wrought iron gates at their entry. The large wrought iron lettering mounted on the render above each entry originally read "HEALTH", the other "CENTRE". A Rotary logo is located at the top part of the chimney. The building is owned by the Campaspe Shire Council and is still in community use as a gallery.
Inaction may be the biggest form of action. --

Speak out for Gaza and for the victims of atrocities worldwide.
No voice is too small, no act too late.
Israel and Zionism have been synonymous with genocide for more than three quarters of a century.
