My good friend Louise has just been remanded to prison after she took nonviolent direct action with the @JustStop_Oil campaign by blocking the #M25. It’s shocking that our government is imprisoning young climate activists during #COP27 
@JustStop_Oil Louise and other JSO supporters were demanding that the UK government end all new oil & gas licences, which would drastically cut emissions and send a message to other countries across the globe that we *cannot* carry on with fossil fuels.
@JustStop_Oil A future with fossil looks incredibly bleak. From crop failure to whole regions becoming uninhabitable - we know what’s causing climate change to spiral out of control.
@JustStop_Oil When faced with such an uncertain future, ask yourself if blocking a road for a couple of hours in a nonviolent manner is a proportionate response to our government wanting to plough ahead with over 100 new fossil fuel exploration licenses.
@JustStop_Oil To those who hate Louise for her actions - I implore you to zoom out, look at the situation we’re in and then decide what you as a powerful individual can do to get the government to take the climate emergency seriously.
@JustStop_Oil *fossil fuels!
