From Israel to India, Ecuador to Australia, New Zealand to the United Kingdom, we have all been united in our pain and our desperate desire for change. Following in the footsteps of great change-makers and peace-bringers such as Emmeline Pankhurst and Mahatma Gandhi, rebels have chosen to go hungry as a mark of their love for the Earth and all the life that it harbours."

It gnaws at my stomach all day and all night with a relentless ache. Yet my hunger for change propels me forward.

My beautiful nieces and nephews will have to scramble for their survival run and wonder how we got here.”

Jammu Kashmir Times has also entered the fray on our behalf:
Other papers covered it too. We are trying to confirm and source them for the reader's benefit.

It's useful to be consistent, if you are trying to mobilise the public for a People's Assembly:
