Friends,

Today is one for the history books: the UK government has announced a ban
on fracking.

From Balcombe to Blackpool, Sherwood to Ryedale – people power has
defeated an industry before it even got off the ground. This victory is
one of the biggest the climate movement has ever seen.

1031 days ago, work started at the flagship fracking site at Preston New
Road in Lancashire. Local people and their supporters have been resisting
at the gates of that site every single day. Their tenacity has now forced
the hand of the Conservative government to finally admit defeat and ban
this dangerous, climate-wrecking industry.

[ [link removed] ]Share this win to let everyone know that people power works and that we
have many more victories waiting for us.

The fight against fracking has been about much more than saying no to
fossil fuels. It has been about building resilient communities, forming
international solidarity, and creating a vision of a more just future for
everyone.

The anti-fracking movement has shown what can happen when communities on
the frontlines take a stand, how local resistance paves the way for
national opposition, and how a group of feisty Lancashire Nanas can change
the world.

We know the time is ticking on climate breakdown. But the last 12 months
have seen unprecedented levels of action across the UK. With more and more
people taking disruptive action for the climate, victories like today show
us that anything is possible. Today, let us celebrate together and
tomorrow let’s take these lessons forward as we continue our fight for
climate justice.

I have never been more proud to have been part of this movement. So to
each of you who ever stood by the gates of a fracking site in the
rain; who made tea, brought cake, wrote letters, signed petitions, wore a
badge, honked your horn. To each of you who joined with thousands of
others across the country to take action against this industry: this
victory is yours.

I usually end my emails with 'until we win' but today, I’ll just end with
this:

Thank you. We won.

Anna, on behalf of the 350 team
