57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

The wealth of America's richest 1% hit a record $44 trillion last year.

This small group of individuals now holds 30% of the nation’s wealth.

RIP Sr Majella McCarron, the Irish nun who supported my dad's environmental campaign in the Niger Delta. By preserving the letters Ken Saro-Wiwa wrote to her from prison, she gave valuable insight into his thoughts and helped sustain his legacy. We're eternally grateful to her ❤️

Ruth Hopkins detailing what is actually happening in SA prisons, particularly G4S. Her story was withdrawn and removed from this platform after publishing it a few weeks ago because of pressure 'from above' because certain people are being exposed through her investigations

4) In SA there are allegations about G4S of torture, forced medication with anti-psychotic drugs and other international crimes. Dani Cohen violated press freedom by contacting the Sunday times to demand they take my article offline. She can face the consequences. SANEF

3) Dani Cohen could chose to be a spokesperson for human rights organisations fighting to make this world a better place, which will probably earn her a fraction of her current salary. She chooses to represent a company that has a terrible track record. 702 Newzroom Afrika

Huge for-profit multinationals with billions in revenue, should be held accountable by journalists. Journalists should not help the company cover up evidence of corruption and a captured state.
