How to bring down an environmental or progressive policy in 7 easy steps. My sister Kat Jones is the director of a small Scottish environment charity (Action Protect Rural Scotland). She was closely involved in the bottle return scheme which collapsed despite initially having broad support following a targeted campaign by vested interests. Now she's seeing the same tactics being applied to the campaign for a new national park in Scotland. She's decided to write this how to guide of the dirty tricks. While this might seem risky she thinks it will make everyone more immune by being able to spot the tactics in action. Definitely worth a read. https://lnkd.in/g3nzJq7W

Let’s Stand Together to End Modern Slavery At Waste to Wonder Worldwide, we believe that #education is one of the most powerful tools in the fight against #ModernSlavery. Through our School in a Box initiative, we’ve been able to support over 1,400 schools & charities in 40 countries, giving children and communities the chance to dream, grow, and protect themselves from exploitation. This isn’t just about redistributing resources, it’s about giving hope and opportunity to those who need it most. Today, on this #AntiSlaveryDay, we’re sharing our Anti-Slavery White Paper. It tells the story of how education can break the cycle of vulnerability and exploitation, and how we can all play a part in this fight.

PCT update! 🥾 Riordan just passed 700 miles and has entered the Sierra Nevada! This week, he’s reflecting on activism and action during his time on the trail. Read on for some of his experience, and head to this page to learn more and donate: https://lnkd.in/gmk6jnZf “One of the beautiful things about Activism is that there isn't much of a rule book. Sure, there are strategies that might be more effective than others. But, what it really comes down to is one's genuine desire to make a positive impact. By combining this genuine desire with one of your passions, you are effectively joining together different communities in an organic way. As they grow, so does the opportunity for fundraising, idea sharing, and the potential to make a meaningful difference. Whatever your mission might be, it's important to take the leap and start sharing your story with others. You might be surprised by who is willing to listen! “ #SierraNevadaAlliance #SierraNevada #SavetheSierra #Sierra #Conservation #Stewardship #Community #Environment #Activism #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #ClimateChange #Adventure #PacificCrestTrail #AlchemyLab #ProjectPCT Riordan Cicciu

At DFR, community is the heart of everything we do. We strive to ensure our programs honor the dignity of every individual we serve. Instead of relying on a single hub to distribute recovered food, our decentralized No Cost Grocery Program (NCGP) model allows us to meet people where they are—in their own communities, where they feel safe and comfortable. We partner with 21 nonprofits, schools, health centers, and resident councils so that people can easily access food in familiar, trusted community spaces. Often, community members themselves help set up and distribute the food, meaning neighbors are receiving food from people they know and trust—not from outsiders who may not fully understand their unique needs and preferences. This model prioritizes agency, which is the first step toward achieving true food sovereignty. 💚 Help us sustain this work by donating to Denver Food Rescue this Colorado Gives Day at https://lnkd.in/grnBY_2F. #CommunityFirst #FoodRecovery #NutritionSecurity #NoCostGroceries #DenverFoodRescue #FoodJustice #FoodAccessForAll

Here's a snippet of what #FightAgainstHunger is about! 1 week to go!

The concept of ‘nudging’ has been used as a policy tool to influence behaviour change and individual decision-making. However less is known about the use of nudging to increase public engagement in co-production where co-production refers to citizens’ willingness to contribute to policies that improve their lives. An article in Policy Studies, summarised by ANZSOG's The Bridge, compares nudging strategies in two co-production areas: natural hazards resilience and organ donation. Results suggest that nudging strategies are a useful tool for increasing hazard resilience coproduction while they backfire for organ donations and reduce willingness to participate.
