Got home too late from painting a mural to catch the next CCIC meeting - gutted to have missed it!! Hope it was super interesting and insightful as always :D

Just a shout out to every children's author & illustrator, who's not silent.

Despite the potential impact to your own careers, u show solidarity &see humanity regardless of race, religion etc.

As a teacher, I'd trust u in my class because I'd know u care for ALL of my kids.🙌🏼💛

The article is missing some key points - The SoA made statements in solidarity with BLM and Ukraine in the past without consulting members. After some translators asked them to make a statement for P, they quietly changed their website stance to 'apolitical', again with no vote.

Bloody hell that was an incredible article. 'this is bigger than me. It’s bigger than myself. It’s bigger than all of us.'

Do not just tweet. Organise.

The next fossil free books meeting is Monday at 12. Email [email protected] for the links.

Join our meetings. Information can be found in the link in in our bio.

Our next meeting is Monday May 6th.

Those who voted down the resolution at the Society of Authors last night took assistance from this group. This should worry every author who still has membership.

I'm both completely heartbroken that our Palestine motion did not pass and ridiculously proud that our fossil fuel divestment motion DID pass (making history). This is not the end: it's just the beginning. Join Fossil Free Books today

Just gonna leave this here as a reminder: this happened. Spot the difference. I'd say something many of us know in our bones about UK publishing, but instead I want to thank the 786 of you who stood up for what is right today.

Deleted my tweet there as I had misunderstood the vote summary - brb
