Getting
Started
Just Stop Oil may have won our demand, but revolutionary change is needed now more than ever. Corrupt politicians serving the interests of billionaires. Ordinary people struggling to survive. Media shifting blame from their mates on mega yachts to the people in small boats.
And the world is getting hotter and hotter.
Nothing short of a political and economic revolution is going to get us out of this mess. We're just getting started.
See you on the streets.

TRUTH
The Government needs to come clean and admit to the public how bad our situation is. We've smashed through the 1.5 degree threshold that was suppose to keep us safe and we now face a rapidly accelerating crisis that threatens ordered civil society and our entire way of life. Large parts of the world are becoming uninhabitable. Extreme heat and flooding is making growing food impossible and forcing people from their homes. Our healthcare systems, our economies and our safety and security are threatened. We urgently need to phase out oil, gas and coal for good, in order to minimise the harm to our families and communities.
Community
We need world leaders to get on with the job of protecting us, but they are prioritising endless growth, corporate profits and the wealth of billionaires over the wellbeing of ordinary people. It's easy to feel powerless when challenging the interests of the powerful, that's why we need to come together and find strength in numbers. We do this by getting to community events, getting trained in nonviolence and when we are ready, joining our local group to take action.
Action
History has shown that rapid social change has only ever come from everyday people disrupting the status quo. This is how civil resistance works: applying nonviolent pressure until we force change to happen. It's how the Freedom Riders forced an end to segregated buses in 1961. It's how disabled people won accessible transport in the nineties and how Just Stop Oil won no new oil and gas licenses in 2024. We know how to win, but it’s going to take all of us.
