John, we're being sued by Shell. Yes, you read that right.

A top oil giant who raked in £5.1 billion in profits over the last 3 months [1] is suing us. 

Our brave activists occupied their climate-wrecking oil and gas platform in the North Sea to stop them destroying the planet for profit. Now, they’re threatening us with a damages claim for $8.6 million – in a desperate attempt to strong-arm us into silence. If they beat us in court, it’s not only a win for oil companies but a win against anyone who dares to take a stand.

But we can’t let them get away with this. Shell may have millions in the bank, but we’ve got millions of people just like you on our side and if we unite, we can overpower Big Oil.

We need your help to fight them – can you chip in towards our STOP SHELL APPEAL?

Shell's claim against Greenpeace couldn’t be more out of touch with ordinary people. Across the UK, many of us are struggling to heat our homes – while Shell report record-breaking profits year after year and cause climate catastrophe. Millions of us want a green future. But Shell have shrunk their renewables department and ramped up fossil fuel production.

They’ve made it clear: they couldn’t care less about destroying our planet. 

But with your help, we can stop them and show them that people and the planet come before profit. We’ve beaten Shell before and achieved some historic wins – even preventing them from drilling for oil in the Arctic [2].

And we can beat them again, but only with the help of people like you. Please, support us as we continue to fight for the planet and stand up to Big Oil giants.

They may have deep pockets and expensive lawyers, but they don’t have you. If everyone who reads this email donated just £15, we’d be able to raise over £1 million – to help us fight Shell in court and continue peacefully protesting against them. 

Our voices are louder together. We’ll keep demanding urgent action and speaking up for everyone who cares about the future of our planet.

Every penny raised in our STOP SHELL APPEAL could hold Big Oil to account. Please, help us take them on and win.

P.S. Shell’s extreme tactics are a way of trying to bully us into silence, so they can continue to rake in eye-watering profits. This is a historic legal challenge – please help us take them on and win.
