✊🌍 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.

@letsStopEACOPuk @eacopkatwa
✊ This zoom is to spread the word, raise funds, and broaden links between UK and Students Against #EACOP.

All welcome, students and non-students alike.
Come along to show your support and learn about this inspirational campaign.

⛓️ Today, the fundamental right to express dissent has been taken away from the British people. The Home Secretary has bypassed the democratic process to grant police the power to not… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🚨 BREAKING: 55 PEOPLE MARCH DOWN ROAD, IMMEDIATELY SLAPPED WITH SECTION 12 NOTICE

🦺 At 10:00am, 55 Just Stop Oil supporters began marching from the Shell Centre to Parliament Sq. 15 minutes later, a Section 12 public order notice was issued, ordering protesters off the road.
⚖️ These supporters are marching in accordance with fundamental human rights that are protected under international law. Last week, the Government laid before Parliament the third piece of legislation in two years which aims to restrict protest.
🏛️ The public order regulations will reintroduce amendments that were voted out of the Public Order Act by the House of Lords. This will redefine ‘serious disruption’ to mean anything that is ‘more than minor hindrance’ to daily activities.

Can't believe she'd park there.
Oh also, climate catastrophe is imminent. Image
Confused as to why the Daily Mail would put this on page 19?

It's owned by a billionaire called Jonathan Harmsworth, aka Lord Rothermere, whose great-grandfather founded it and was pals with Adolf Hitler and other fascists. Image
He is a 'non-domicile' – meaning he avoids paying his fair share of tax in the UK. And his paper has a long track record of spreading lies and misinformation on the climate crisis.

Even as people died from 40°C heat last summer, his paper tried to play it down as a sunny day. Image

⚖️ CONSPIRACY TO CARE

🧡 19 people are appearing in court today to face charges associated with #M25 and art actions as the group continues to demand that the government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents.

#FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis #COP27 #A22Network #UK #Climate
Amy-Rose, 20, from Bromley, appearing at South Crown Court today said:

“If you feel outraged by the actions of Just Stop Oil supporters, ask yourself how things have got to this point? Imagine how you would feel if it was your son or daughter locked away for doing what's right”
⚖️ Hannah Hunt, 23 and Eben Lazarus, 22, both from Brighton are at Westminster Magistrates Court to face trial.

🚨 BREAKING: SOUTH LONDON SLOW DOWN

⏰ At 8am, 15 Just Stop Oil supporters walked onto the road at Bricklayers Arms roundabout in South London demanding the government halt all new oil and gas licences.

#FreeLouis #FreeJosh #CivilResistance #A22Network #NoNewOil #EnoughIsEnough
Sam Griffiths, 47, a Dad and designer from London said:

"I feel sick seeing how little is happening to address climate breakdown, the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. And our Government is actively making things worse. Granting over 100 new oil licences is indefensible"
💬 "I started actively supporting Just Stop Oil after we had 40°C in the UK for the first time in recorded history. It scared the shit out of me. I looked at my boy and realised I couldn't just continue to do nothing."
