⚠️Don't listen to Oil Exec Daleks

💰Billions have been spent by fossil fuel comps, distorting and exterminating the truth.

End fossil fuel lobbying.
Build people power.
Because if we don’t rise together — the polluters win.

1🧵We are grateful to @TheLancet for showing climate leadership by extending its ethical advertising ban to the banks funding the fossil fuel crisis. It is time for all medical organisations to divest their banking and investments away from climate destroying infrastructure.

In January XR Scotland members joined a thousand peaceful protesters outside London's Royal Courts of Justice. The demonstration supported 16 Just Stop Oil activists appealing their combined 41-year sentences for non-violent climate protests. Our appearance coincided with their 2 day appeal ✊🏻

On 13 May, rebels joined the May Day rally in Glasgow, marching with unions and others to Glasgow University. Hundreds turned out in a vibrant show of solidarity, with singing, chanting and dancing through the streets. ✊🏻 #ExtinctionRebellion
A group of five people stand on grass in front of a leafy tree, smiling at the camera. Three hold colourful Extinction Rebellion flags, pink, blue, and orange. Two wear high-vis vests, and one holds a sign that reads “NON VIOLENT.” Other people and a white van are visible in the background.

BREAKING

Protests as the Scottish Parliament hosts a celebration of climate criminal BP.

It is unacceptable for MSPs to welcome the oil giant who is fuelling the genocide in Gaza & has scrapped its climate pledges.
