The climate protestor who beat a 15-month prison sentence

Last year, Deanna ‘Violet’ CoCo was standing on top of a truck on Sydney Harbour Bridge with a flare in her hand. She was prepared to be arrested; prepared to face harsh anti-protest laws – but she wasn’t prepared to be the target of national angst and passion about climate protest. She was given a 15-month prison sentence for her actions — with the magistrate calling her ‘childish' and ‘emotional’ during the sentencing.  Today, fresh from beating that prison sentence on appeal, Violet CoCo on protest, justice, and the future of the climate movement.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Climate protestor Deanna ‘Violet’ CoCo.
