Sunny Whitehead today and large crowd of protectors saving their coastline from an oil terminal and their planet from climate breakdown. @CloghanNo @foe_ni In the face of yet more ecological betrayal by @niexecutive communities stand up proudly with self reliance and mutual aid
The @USUKFulbright vision is a world without barriers to understanding & collaboration. It's safe to say Nate Johnson embodied that during his time in NI! While @UlsterUni, he joined @PILSni as a research intern & last week marked his last day in the office. Huge thanks/GRMA👏

This Sunday with @CloghanNo Stop Whitehead Oil Terminal for a nature walk and an opportunity learn more about the proposed oil terminal at Cloghan Point. Meeting up at Whitehead Car Park and walking to Blackhead Lighthouse - please sign up bit.ly/swotwalk
