One of Church’s most prominent battles is for climate justice, particularly in her home country of Wales. She’s been a vocal opponent of fossil fuel projects, including the controversial Roseby Project in Australia, which impacts the climate globally. Fun fact: She even performed at a protest site in Wales in 2026, singing a cappella lullabies to block a coal mine expansion.
Her climate activism isn’t just about signing petitions; it’s about systemic change. She works with groups like Extinction Rebellion and Stop Roseby, but always with a pragmatic, solution-focused twist. Practical tip: Start local. Church’s most effective work began by supporting a small campaign in her own Welsh valley, not a global summit.
Indigenous Rights and the Power of the Land
Another major pillar of her activism is supporting Indigenous communities. She has strongly opposed the sale of the publicly-owned woodland in Wales, often highlighting how these lands are sacred to local heritage. Cultural reference: In her activism, she often parallels the struggle of the Welsh against mining with the fight of the Water Protectors at Standing Rock in the United States. Both are battles about protecting the earth from corporate extraction.
She’s also been outspoken about the divestment from companies that harm Indigenous populations. Church isn’t afraid to call out institutions, including the Catholic Church, for historical land grabs. Little known fact: She named her own production company “The Fold”, which is a nod to both the Welsh landscape and the idea of a protective, communal space.
