We're at a vigil outside Sheffield station to remember the 116 journalists murdered by Israel to date as part of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Organised by @SheffieldPSC and @FilmPalestine 🇵🇸
Intentionally targeting journalists is a war crime.

From @NowThenSam in collaboration with @RiverDonProject - a fascinating interview with our Upper Don Trail Trust Secretary Yvonne McMenemy and her husband Rob. They talk about the special place the river holds in their hearts. It’s why we do what we do! nowthenmagazine.com/articles…

"[The river] will sit with us for a cup of tea and share stories of who crossed their width."

Our city is built at the confluence of five rivers, and is only a stone's throw from the beautiful Peak District.
But we treat nature with contempt in Sheffield.

3.6 MILLION hours of sh*t was dumped into our waterways in 2023.
That’s a 105% increase in total discharges on the previous 12 months.
Privatisation has failed. It’s time to renationalise: 38d.gs/SewageFine_X01

You might have noticed we've been publishing a bit differently, with a growing emphasis on systemic problems in a local context.
We want to explain some of our thinking up to this point. A thread 🧵👇
