TEDxKingsCross
• November 2021
TEDxKingsCross 2021 was a countdown themed event looking at solutions to climate change. Tamsin Omond talks about power, justice, their tale of transition and why it matters so much when we're thinking about solving climate change.
Since dropping banners against Heathrow Airport's third runway from the roof of the Houses of Parliament, Tamsin has consistently shifted public conversation on the climate and ecological emergency. They have organised (and been arrested for) a number of high profile protests, co-founded a Suffragette inspired environmental group called Climate Rush, coordinated (the successful) Save England's Forests coalition, founded a CIC - The Momentum Project - that mobilises the community surrounding London City Airport, led global corporate campaigns as Head of Global Campaigns at Lush Cosmetics and been a founding member of Extinction Rebellion. In 2021 Tamsin stood for co-leadership of the Green Party of England and Wales. They are also active in queer uprising. They are a theatre maker and author of RUSH! The Making of a Climate Activist and and Do Earth: Healing Strategies for Humankind.
