After a huge amount of pressure online and offline, shining a spotlight on Shell’s shoddy drilling operation - Shell has abandoned their plans to drill off Alaskan coast this year. But they and other oil companies have plans to return next year - and we need your help to stop them.
Today Greenpeace supporters and volunteers from across the UK have come together for 13 large regional protests to #TellShell to scrap their Arctic drilling plans for good. Please follow the action:
Back in July Greenpeace volunteers organised a wave of peaceful and legal protests at Shell petrol stations across the UK, and hundreds of people took action to #SaveTheArctic. For many this was their very first protest of any kind and today they’ve come back.
Working together, 60 Greenpeace groups & networks have organised 13 large regional protest events, inviting Greenpeace supporters new and old to #TellShell to scrap their Arctic drilling plans for good.
