Having now been sentenced to 30 months in prison for her part in Just Stop Oil's (prospective) Manchester Airport action, here's Indigo Rumbellow's a prison letter; she argues the judge's intent to make her sentence a deterrent to others is a testament to the power of non-violent protest (drawing on a long history of civil disobedience).

Will her call to (further) acton now be heeded, or can we find other ways to effect the crucial policy change(s)?

I received a 30-month jail sentence for nonviolent resistance. Why so harsh? Because protest works | Indigo Rumbelow
