*Dear GreenNet friends,* 	
*December 2022*


It's time for our annual GreenNet winter newsletter. We'd like to thank 
you for your support over the last year and wish you a very merry 
festive season. We've been busy this year, but if you just want to see 
when our office is closed for the holidays, please skip <#opening> to 
the end of this message.


      Welcome to GreenNet.Social!

We're pleased to announce that we have launched our own instance of 
Mastodon. It is federated with the wider Mastodon decentralised social 
network, and we're pleased to welcome GreenNet users to join us on this 
alternative to Twitter.

You can sign up for free at https://greennet.social.

You can also link greennet.social <https://greennet.social> with your 
twitter account using https://crossposter.greennet.social so you will be 
able to post to your old twitter account from mastodon and never log 
into corporate controlled social media ever again.


      #FreeAlaa

We at GreenNet add our voices to the urgent calls for Alaa Abd 
el-Fattah’s freedom. In happier days Alaa helped GreenNet on website 
projects, encouraging us to develop in Drupal. We’ve kept in contact 
with his family through APC while his mistreatment at the hands of the 
el-Sisi government (and previous governments) of Egypt has grown worse.

GreenNet collective members joined the vigils in London during and since 
COP27. We are also deeply concerned for the welfare of Alaa's sister 
Sanaa since she has bravely returned to Egypt during COP27, and for the 
thousands of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in Egypt.

Please support the campaign in any way you can at 
https://freealaa.net/take-action. One easy action is to email your MP.
