<P>Hi,</P>
<P><STRONG>We had a huge win this week! ‘Our Islands Our Home’ made the front
page of the Sydney Morning Herald!</STRONG> Our fight to protect our island
homes from the climate crisis is getting more attention. It makes us proud to
know that although we come from small islands, we are making big waves! <A

<P>This story is significant because politicians and the mainland community need
to hear directly from Torres Strait Islanders on the frontlines of the climate
crisis. There was a big spread with a feature article and photos featuring
#TorresStrait8 claimant Stanley Marama and Ned David, chair of Gur A Baradharaw
Kod (GBK) Sea and Land Council, who are partners in this campaign.</P>
<P><STRONG>These stories humanise the climate crisis and help put pressure on
the government to take urgent action now</STRONG>. <A
href="https://act.350.org/go/238344?t=8&utm_medium=email&utm_source=actionkit&akid=154138%2E4050260%2EwvvXHZ">Share
the article now to your networks, send it to your local MP, and make sure our
story is heard far and wide.</A></P>
<P>The Australian government is rejecting the #TorresStrait8’s landmark climate
justice case on the grounds that it cannot be held individually responsible for
climate change because it is a global problem. <STRONG>That’s why we need to
continue to build our campaign to hold the Government accountable so it can’t
shirk its responsibility to First Nations people any more.</STRONG></P>

<P><STRONG>The Torres Strait 8 claimants have five demands of the Australian
Government:</STRONG></P>
<OL>
<LI>Fund adaptation programs that will allow Zenadth Kes communities to adapt
to climate impacts
<LI>Commit to going 100% renewables in Australia in the next 10 years
<LI>Support Zenadth Kes communities to build community-owned renewable energy
<LI>Transition away from fossil fuels as rapidly as possible through a just
transition for workers
<LI>Push the world to increase global ambition and keep warming to less than
1.5 degrees </LI></OL>
<P><STRONG>It is a huge win that the frontlines are making headlines, but we
need to keep up the pressure on the Australian Government,
Vladimir!</STRONG></P>
<P>We will be travelling from Zenadth Kes (the Torres Strait) to Parliament
House in August, and we need our politicians to feel the pressure right up until
then.<STRONG> Help support the fight for climate justice for Zenadth Kes, <A
