🧡 BREAKING: LUXURY CAR DEALERSHIPS PAINTED ORANGE

🚗 At 8:30am today, two Just Stop Oil supporters sprayed orange paint over several luxury car dealers on Berkeley Sq and Bruton St, including HR Owen Bugatti, Jack Barclay Bentley, Bentley Motor Cars London and Ferrari Mayfair
🛢 They are demanding that the government halts all new oil and gas consents and licences. Oil is causing the climate and cost of living crisis, making us poorer, destroying jobs and killing us now. New oil and gas is an act of genocide.

#FreeLouis #FreeJosh #A22Network Image
💬 Carmen Lean, a 28-year-old architecture student from Glasgow, said:

“We pay exorbitant bills for oil and gas but it’s nothing compared to the price our kids will pay for it. New oil and gas is a death sentence for people all around the world.

#CivilResistance #JustStopOil Image
“You can throw us in prison but it won’t stop our outrage at this government throwing millions of people under the bus. We’re not asking for no new oil, we’re demanding it.

“This Govt is using the crisis to push through more austerity on one hand & new oil licences on the other. Image
“Both are death sentences. If this government cared about people, they would be insulating homes, investing in affordable public transport and massively scaling up renewables.”

💬"In what world is it ok to buy and sell luxury cars, when people can't afford to eat or heat their homes, or when people all over the world are suffering and dying from the climate crisis... Inequality is what's driving the climate crisis"

💬 "Why are millions of children in poverty in this country, while people are buying SUVs from @BentleyMotors... It's obscene. I'm surprised this stuff isn't happening more.

There is a reason we are so poor, and it's because there are more and more rich people getting richer." Image

🦺 Cressie gave her defence statement to the jury today at Isleworth Crown Court, before @ChrisGPackham was called as a witness.

🧵 Thread of her statement.

📷 Photo credit: Denise Baker Image
On 20th July 2022, I climbed up onto a gantry over the M25. I hung up two banners – one said “Just Stop Oil” (the campaign in whose name I was taking action) and the other said “40 Degrees” (this was a day after the 40C heatwave scorched the UK, burnt down houses and left people dead).
The prosecution have said that my intention was clearly to stop the traffic. However, it is under oath that I say I was not expecting the police to close the entire motorway. I thought it was possible they may decide to close one or two lanes, or perhaps slow the speed of the traffic, but I was very surprised when they closed the whole thing. I was surprised because I was conducting a nonviolent, peaceful protest, the intention of which was to gain media attention and create public pressure on the government to stop new oil and gas.

The Chairman of the @Conservatives is tweeting lies about protesters being glued to The Cenotaph.

The reality is that they were dragged off the road and arrested by police for protesting in the street, under legislation his corrupt party introduced.

Share and expose this lie.
@Conservatives They were marching, peacefully, along Whitehall to Parliament Square. But that's not stopped @LeeAndersonMP_ from quite literally politicising the Cenotaph and war dead. We are disgusted and appalled.
We need everyone to stand up to this madness. We are holding a public march on the 18th of November. All are welcome.

This was previously planned to be non-arrestable, but we can now no longer guarantee safety from arrest.

Please sign up to march at

🚨 BREAKING: Just Stop Oil begin actions on Monday, 30th Oct. This is our message to @metpoliceuk chief, Sir Mark Rowley:

Until you prosecute the criminals responsible for crimes against humanity and acts of genocide, Just Stop Oil supporters will remain in civil resistance.

The facts are clear. New oil and gas licensing in 2023 will kill hundreds of millions of people, adding to the already mounting global death toll from climate breakdown. To know these facts and still encourage drilling for UK new oil and gas is reckless and immoral.
The politicians planning to max out the UK’s oil and gas reserves are not directly seeking mass death—the primary aim of their support for fossil fuels is profit and power. To them, it’s an inconvenient side effect that millions and eventually billions of people will die.

🚨 Just Stop Oil March On as Sunak Plans to Ditch Climate Pledges

🦺 At around 8am, 25 Just Stop Oil supporters began marching in four groups in Southwark and Tower Hamlets. Two marches converged on Tower Bridge, were issued a Section 12 notice and were off the road by 8:30am. https://t.co/rChqIECGjgtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
📃 The mini-march in Vauxhall was issued a Section 12 notice and was off the road by 8:10. A mini-march in the City of London started at 8:52 and was issued a Section 12 by 9:15, just before Blackfriars Bridge. Further marches are expected later this morning.
👎 Today’s marches were spurred on by the fact that the Government is signalling that it may fail to honour its commitments to essential climate funds. Commentators have said that @RishiSunak risks “shattering” the UK’s global standing by slipping out of its £11.6bn commitments.

🏳️‍🌈 BREAKING: JUST STOP OIL DISRUPTS PRIDE

🧯 LGBTQ+ supporters of Just Stop Oil have disrupted the Pride in London parade, blocking Coca-Cola's float and spraying black and pink paint over the road.

🧵 A thread on why we've disrupted #PrideInLondon: https://t.co/bGjudM9VUltwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
🛢 LGBTQ+ supporters of Just Stop Oil met with the organisers of Pride in London, demanding they make a statement condemning new oil and gas licences.

🦺 Pride in London have failed to do this, so we have taken action.
💀 Who do you think will be the first to suffer the consequences of societal collapse? It will be marginalised communities, such as the LGBTQ+ community.

⛓️ Pride have a responsibility to take action to protect their community, and they are failing.

✊🌍 Students Against EACOP x Just Stop Oil Youth: THURS 11th MAY @ 7PM

ONLINE TALK: Hear from those in civil resistance in Uganda, who are working to stop the construction of the world's longest crude oil pipeline through Uganda and Tanzania.

Register: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist… Image
Construction of the pipeline has already displaced over 10,000 people, devastating the local communities it runs through. And that's before we start on the catastrophic carbon impacts of the project.

@stopEACOP #EACOP #JUSTSTOPOIL
These activists are in civil resistance in a dictatorship, and some members have even been tortured for their actions. But their drive is unfaltering and they are coming back stronger than ever this summer.
