Housmans welcome Roger Hallam to discuss his essential new book: Suicide: The Political and Legal Implications of Creating Endless Mass Death. In the age of climate collapse, telling the truth has become a criminal act. From a cell in Wayland Prison, Roger Hallam—farmer, researcher, and co-founder of Just Stop Oil—delivers a searing indictment of a legal system that punishes those who resist, while protecting those who destroy. In July 2024, Hallam was dragged from a British courtroom for refusing to stay silent about the climate crisis. For “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance,” he was sentenced to five years in prison—the harshest punishment for civil disobedience in the UK in modern British history. The case made front-page news and drew global outcry.

Conscience is launching Conscience’s Supporters’ Panel and would love you to be part of the very first meeting, even if you’ve never joined anything like this before. The Supporters’ Panel is a new initiative that brings together individuals committed to Conscience’s vision of shifting UK taxes away from war and towards peacebuilding.

It’s an informal group – no legal responsibilities, no required donations – just a willingness to contribute time, thought, and feedback.

Participation is flexible. Some may stay involved as panellists, while others may choose to take on a deeper role in time, such as joining our Executive Committee.

This is a free event, but please RSBP below to avoid disappointment.
