UK: Grandmother and town councillor, imprisoned for breaching a court order that banned her from explaining the reasons for her peaceful environment protest in court.

Protecting the right to speak out against Government inaction has never been more important. We must fight against every fraction of a degree in rising temperatures, to keep our Earth inhabitable.

Giovanna, a grandmother and town councillor, was imprisoned for breaching a court order that banned her from explaining the reasons for her peaceful protest in court. She spoke to Good Law Project about why she’s launched an appeal, even though she’s already served her time in prison.

As well as our ongoing challenge to the Government on their net zero strategy, Good Law Project has hired a specialist protest lawyer to help us make sure we can all speak out against the climate emergency.

Thank you,
