“We cannot save a burning planet with a fire hose of fossil fuels. The 1.5-degree limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning all fossil fuels. Not reduce. Not abate.”
Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations
How people are taking on oil.
Taking action
The plan.
Truth
We are being lied to. We need to face up to the scale of the crisis that we are facing. Everything we know and love is threatened by the breakdown of our climate. Our economy, our homes our way of life. You, me, scientists, press, politicians, educators… everyone needs to face up to the reality of what is being done to us.
Community
Every one of us feels alone in this. But when we come together, then we can start to grapple with the challenge of our lifetimes. When we come together we are powerful, and we can create meaningful change and make history. We come to talks and events, we cook and eat together, we train in nonviolent action and when we are ready we join our local group and take action.
Action
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. It's how we'll win and force this criminal government to act on the unfolding climate disaster by stopping new oil and gas. No-one’s going to save us, we need to come together to do that for ourselves.
