Hi John,

What do Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, Benedict Cumberbatch and Greta Thunberg have in common?

They’ve all just signed our open letter to Shell expressing their outrage at Shell’s multimillion dollar lawsuit against Greenpeace. [1]

Will you join them now and add your name too? If enough people sign the letter, we can show Shell and the court that public opinion is firmly on our side. So every signature counts!

Every signature helps show public support for our fight

Shell is suing us because 6 brave Greenpeace activists peacefully protested on one of their oil platforms last year. [2] The platform was heading to the North Sea to unlock new oil wells in the middle of a climate emergency - so our activists peacefully occupied it to demand that Shell stop drilling and start paying for the damage they are causing across the world.

Shell’s multimillion dollar lawsuit is one of the biggest threats Greenpeace has faced in our 53-year history. But we’re not giving up and we’re not backing down. And in just 3 weeks, 100,000 people have signed our open letter to show they’re with us!

Today a range of public figures including Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson and Benedict Cumberbatch; climate activists like George Monbiot and Greta Thunberg and organisations including Amnesty International UK and Friends Of The Earth have all signed on too. This just shows the strength of public support out there for us with this case - so please can you join our people powered fightback by adding your name too?

We have been forced to take oil companies like Shell on because the government continues to side with profits for big oil instead of ordinary people who want cheaper energy bills and a safer climate.

These are some of the richest companies in history so it’s going to be tough. But I know we can win this fight - and it starts with beating this lawsuit.

So let’s make this open letter as big as possible to show Shell they won’t get away with trying to silence groups like Greenpeace. Because there are hundreds of thousands of people out there who are prepared to fight for a livable planet alongside us.

Thanks for everything you do,

Aiyan Maharasingam
