The revolution will be financed by the people

 

The information on the impact of emissions and extractivism on the balance of ecosystems has been available for decades. The government and companies choose to continue on a path of climate chaos. This is a conscious and coordinated act of violence. The responsibility and power to stop it lies in the hands of the people.
 
We must make it impossible to ignore the climate crisis, before it becomes impossible to live. We are building the movement that faces reality and takes the courage to act. All over the world, and in Portugal, hundreds of people are risking their freedom to fight for their lives. When governments and companies are destroying everything we love, joining the resistance and stopping this war is the only viable option.

If you support the fight for climate balance and social peace, if you know that we need to act to solve this crisis, join us - fill in the form on the website. Take part in actions, join one of the communication, legal or mobilization teams, etc. or help us at events, with materials or other forms of support.

All the activities we set out to do are bigger than us - the reality of the climate demands it.That's why it's always a challenge to find ways to cover the minimum essential expenses. 
We have a culture of reusing, upcycling, not wasting resources and finding creative, community-based solutions. However, there are costs that we can't avoid (materials, transportation, care, site maintenance, etc).

Monthly donations provide greater stability and political resilience, so that we can continue the struggle independently of external funding. It covers the basic costs for the collective to function, as well as resilience and basic support for activists.

We are currently a group of around 30-50 people, half of whom live outwith the city of Lisbon.
Several of them have dependents they care for. We support each other in any way we can with overtime, legal costs, logistical costs for activities and actions, and living expenses.

The fight for life and against a system of death needs a network of solidarity and mutual support, which gives us the strength to stand up to repression. 

For several months now, hundreds of people have been using their bodies in peaceful actions, despite facing police and judicial repression. Several of us are now facing at least 1-year prison sentences and large fines. We estimate that by 2025 we will be facing legal costs of over 200,000 euros.

One-off donations will help these people who are fighting for their lives and who are being repressed by the unjust law of a system designed to fail, which is plunging us into climate collapse and which tries to silence any attempt to bring an honest and consequential conversation about the climate crisis into the public debate!
