@UniofExeter IS GAMBLING WITH OUR FUTURE FOR PROFIT.
SHELL WOULD RATHER SEE THE PLANET BURN THAN CHANGE THEIR BUSINESS MODEL.
WE DEMAND THAT @UniofExeter CUT THEIR TIES WITH SHELL.
GET THE #SHELLOUT
@UniofExeter Shell haven't they've decided to double down on oil and gas.
So why have @UniofExeter partnered with them? Has the university not realised we need to do things differently to survive?

🦺 Emma, 22, is marching today because she is terrified for her future.
🛢️ Floods and droughts will still happen, even if the police lock us up. New oil and gas licences are a death sentence.
🚷 Take action with Emma and sign up for a slow march at https://t.co/7BzUVS02dZ
Meanwhile, the @UniofExeter, whose 2030 strategy aims to “Lead meaningful action against the climate emergency and ecological crisis,” just signed a nice partnership deal with @Shell while wanting to cut staff’s carbon emissions.
🚨 BREAKING: SHELL AGM DISRUPTED
🧡 Just Stop Oil stand in solidarity with @money_rebellion and @fossilfreeLDN, standing up to the fossil fuel giant Shell.
💀 But our government sides with oil companies, throwing drilling licenses around like confetti.
WIMBORNE AT THE BIG ONE Emma says, ‘The collective JOY and ENERGY at the Big One was amazing. Seeing so many groups join together in London behind the demands for no new oil & gas & citizens assemblies was a historic moment for the climate justice movement!

We have a choice: protect fossil fuel profits or protect the future of our planet.
I choose the future of our planet.
We need a Green New Deal that transforms our economy, creates secure jobs, and provides publicly-owned renewable energy for all. https://t.co/POPFGgdda1
Rishi Sunak promises in today's papers a "no nonsense approach" to stopping protest.
He then says “The British people have a glorious summer of celebration ahead.”
This is what last summer looked like for some. New oil and gas is not compatible with a summer of celebration.
Just a note to say that I have known this young man since he was born and no matter what the press may say about him I have rarely met such an upright, civilised, decent, committed, humane human being in my life. #JustStopOil
I had the privilege of @EdredWhittingh1 & @emmadesaram's company this evening.
I cooked curry for us, we chatted about how brilliant Eddie's action and how trolling is an indicator of success for such an action.
We watched bats feeding on the river Exe and drunk wine.
Day One of #TheBigOne - what a day!
Thousands of people, hundreds of peaceful actions. We've picketed government offices & lobby groups, we've marched, held talks & peoples assemblies as we #UniteToSurvive in peace & love
See you tomorrow for #EarthDay
A retired teaching assistant, a care worker and a 79-year-old retired doctor imprisoned for 5 weeks for demanding proper insulation for all social housing.
All while British families are being forced to choose between heating and eating due to the price of fossil fuels.
This is the state of Britain in 2023.
@shellout_exeter@JustStop_Oil My article for UK Column on Agenda 2030, Sustainable Development Goals, Environmental, Social and Governance criteria, the financialisation of nature, carbon credit markets, ‘green’ energy and the role of corporate-funded protest groups like Just Stop Oil.

Anti-protest laws and police violently assaulting people while in handcuffs – this is the UK in 2023.
Solidarity with Animal Rising and thoughts for those injured at the Grand Nation, human and animal.
"Something worth considering for the armchair strategists who disapprove of these tactics: look up the tactics of the Suffragettes. How can you have a normal society when half the population are denied human rights?"
