Hi John,

 

Shell has just announced record breaking annual profits of more than £32 billion - so we paid their HQ a little visit. [1]

 

We delivered them a simple message: Stop drilling and start paying for your climate damage. Can you share our message to Shell with your friends and family?

Not on social - can you help put the pressure on by signing the petition? We want shell to see the thousands of people who are rising up against them.

While people are struggling with the cost of living crisis - Shell is raking in billions. They’re avoiding paying fair taxes on profits and lining the pockets of their wealthy shareholders. Surely I'm not the only one who finds this disgusting? [2]

 

To make matters worse, Shell has made this profit by driving the climate crisis. Their exploitation of fossil fuels is wreaking climate havoc across the world - driving intense typhoons in the Philippines, drought in East Africa and flooding in Pakistan. These disasters cost billions and the wrong people are having to pay. [3]

 

That’s why four brave people have been occupying a critical piece of Shell's equipment for 48 hours now. They’re bringing a simple message to Shell - Stop Drilling, Start Paying - and they need you to help amplify it online. [4]

 

To make the oil giant sit up and listen we need our activists' voices to be heard by as many people as possible - so can you share their message with your friends and family?

Not on social - can you help put the pressure on by signing the petition? We want shell to see the thousands of people who are rising up against them.

The climate crisis knows no borders but it’s hitting countries who’ve done the least to cause it the hardest. And all while Shell's profits continue to skyrocket. How is this fair? [5, 6]

 

Enough is enough. It’s about time Shell stopped drilling for new fossil fuels and started taking responsibility for the climate damage they are causing.

 

Our brave activists are delivering this message to Shell out at sea and today we brought it to their HQ. But to make sure big oil hears our message loud and clear, we need you to share it online. [7]

 

Thanks for all that you do,
