Write a letter to the Arctic 30

The Arctic 30 are being detained in Russian prisons, charged with piracy. Please help us to shine a light into their cells, raise their spirits and let them know how much support they have all over the world. These 28 activists and two journalists are at the forefront of the battle against dangerous oil drilling in the Arctic, they are heroes not pirates. In their darkest moments we need to let them know they are not alone, so please write a card or letter with a message of support

Join us in a peaceful vigil open to everyone

The Arctic 30 have now been charged with piracy by the Russian state prosecutor. They stood up to protect the Arctic, and they now face the possibility of spending years in prison on an absurd and outrageous charge. So let's stand with them in global day of solidarity this Saturday, 5th October.

Together, we are strong.

As of yesterday, all 30 of the men and women who were aboard the Arctic Sunrise are being detained for two months in Russian jail, without charge. We must not let such blatant intimidation succeed. With the combined support of 4 million of us, who all want to see the Arctic protected, there is nothing we can’t do. Now is the time for creative action. Please add your suggestions and ideas on what we can do together to the comments below. I will read every one of them.
