⚡️☄️ FREE THE PRESS (part of an Uprising Weekend!) ☄️⚡️
Put it in your diary, book your tickets, tell your friends; today we're going public with BIG PLANS for the first weekend out of lockdown!
For the past year, the failures of our government, media & economic system have been made fatally clear. People have had enough, and they're getting organised.
The #KillTheBill protests have reminded us of the power of solidarity & the strength in our numbers. What our society & our world looks like after the pandemic will depend on whether we can deepen those relationships and keep up the pressure where it counts...
So this summer, let's #PullTogether to expose corruption, challenge hate, resist division and demand a New Normal.
⏳June 26th: If you can, join us & other movements in London, where we will present a list of demands to our failing state.
⌛️June 27th: FREE THE PRESS! We'll carry that energy, momentum and solidarity forward and join the dots between corruption, inequality, racism (and just about everything else) and the billionaire press. Time to disrupt the status quo.
We cannot hope to create meaningful change until we challenge the power of the press.
Our democracy, and our future, depends upon it.
⚡️🦂⚡️🦂⚡️🦂⚡️🦂⚡️🦂⚡️🦂⚡️
Here are all the ways you can get involved....
🔥 TWITTER STORM For the next week, help us break outside of our echo chamber and reach new allies. This affects everyone!
🔥PAINT THE STREETS From 8th May, cover your local area with a call to action that cannot be ignored
🔥SPREAD THE WORD Share this telegram group & the facebook event with everyone

✊🎭MURDOCH ON TRIAL 🎭✊
Tomorrow, trials begin for the 50 activists who blockaded Murdoch's Broxbourne last year, the largest printing press in the world.
We are ordinary people, from all walks of life. We are teachers, artists, electricians, parents...
What do we have in common?The courage of our convictions & the determination to stand up for what's right, no matter how hard.
Tomorrow, the prosecutor & the media will say we're the criminals.
But we disagree. And we're going to be putting Murdoch on trial - where he belongs.
Watch this space for updates from the court. 🤹
✊✊✊✊✊
Some of the Liverpool trials have already begun, and we've had 5 acquittals! So, that's...
Murdoch 0 - 5 The People
Bring it on!
And please help us spread the word on Twitter @4billionaires!

✊📣ACTIVIST HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT📣✊
A courageous activist on trial today has disobeyed in the dock, exposing the absurd injustice of peaceful protestors being put on trial whilst Murdoch, Rothermere, Lebedev, Barclay and the rest are free...
Free to spread lies & hate, free to undermine our democracy, free to commit crimes against humanity by failing to tell the truth of the climate crisis.
Meanwhile...
Outside the court The People have taken matters into their own hands and put Murdoch on trial, whilst Priti Patel and Boris Johnson puppets dance around at his feet
When the courts won't see justice done, it's time to rebel.

Let's play... Democracy NumberWang!
💰Rupert Murdoch and his right-hand woman Rebekah Brooks held seven private meetings with five senior ministers over a seven-week period in August and September 2020
💰Just four tax-avoiding billionaires own the majority of our news, with only three of those controlling an estimated 68% of national newspapers
💰A mere three publishers control 90% of national newspaper circulation
💰Editors for The Times, Sunday Times & the Sun met with govt ministers 206 times in the last 2 years
Something about this just doesn't add up...

IS THE BRITISH PRESS RACIST?
We read The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Report ‘Press Coverage of the Refugee and Migrant Crisis in the EU: A Content Analysis of Five European Countries so you don't have to!
THE HIGHLIGHTS...
“What distinguished the right of centre press in the UK was the degree to which that section of the press campaigned aggressively against refugees and migrants”
“The discussion of refugees and migrants as a cultural threat or a threat to community cohesion was most prevalent in the British press”
“It is impossible to ignore the role of the mass media in influencing public and elite political attitudes towards asylum and migration"
⏳It's clear that #TheyWantUsDivided
⌛️The only way we'll win is to #PullTogether
Whether it's for democracy, equality, truth or compassion - we all have skin in this game...
...So we challenge you to share this event with 10 people you know & start the discussion today.

BREAKING NEWS
Today a senior officer has testified in court that after approx 90mins of our printworks protest, Priti Patel & Boris Johnson were already taking an active interest
Just after midnight on 4th September 2020, the Home Secretary rang the Hertfordshire Police Chief Constable, putting pressure on him to shut us down
🧐The road we were blocking was not used by the general public, so we were only disrupting business as usual at Murdoch's place
⏰ What was it about our peaceful, democratic protest outside a business (which we always said would end at 11am, and it did) that prompted such swift & aggressive intervention from the Home Secretary?
☎️How did Rupert's friend & wedding guest Priti Patel even hear about the protest so quickly?
Curiouser and curiouser...
Help us spread the word by retweeting, commenting and liking our tweet exposing the corruption at the heart of our democracy 👉 https://twitter.com/4billionaires/status/1395753182186414086?s=20
