Our Grandchildren’s Climate is an organisation of Seniors (not only grandparents) who are working to bring about change and to ensure that the world where future generations grow up will be safe, healthy and just. For more information go to Our Mission.

Did you miss our Open Meeting on 6th May? Liz Pendleton, Co-founder of Media Revolution appalled and inspired us with her account of how the world’s media system (social media, corporate media, and state media, has been hijacked by a handful of powerful interests – billionaire-owners, political operators and advertisers). Have a look at this petition about introducing a Media Sovereignty Act and sign it. Also, read about "How to survive the information crisis".
Taking inspiration from Michael Mosley's
"Just one Thing"
