Shell’s dark and dirty secrets
8 সেপ | লন্ডন
When you think a climate crime is being committed, it’s time to call the Climate Crime Investigators!
তারা লক্ষ্য করে Shell’s HQ এবং একটি মঞ্চস্থ theatrical investigation for evidence. Police were jumpy at first and tore away their boundary tape, but eventually let them continue their work as media photographers crowded round.
The investigators highlighted Shell’s countless crimes, including decades of environmental destruction and human rights abuses in the Niger Delta of নাইজেরিয়া.
Oil spills, blowouts, fires and general pollution have devastated once-pristine rainforest, the guilty oil giant has been busy greenwashing its image but with little effort to clean up its act.
Hundreds of people joined the main protest outside Shell HQ, including members of the ওগনি জনগণের বেঁচে থাকার জন্য আন্দোলন (MOSOP), a nonviolent campaign by indigenous people from the Niger Delta.
Six people were arrested, including two who chalk-painted ‘Stop Ecocide’ on the side of the building.
Later the samba band led hundreds of rebels on a noisy road-blocking march through central London that ended with speeches in Parliament Square.
Animal farming = moral + public health disaster
7-8 SEP | Manchester & London
গতকাল, পশু বিদ্রোহ hand-delivered a letter demanding the Government tell the truth about animal farming’s links to pandemics like coronavirus.
সার্জারির খোলা চিঠি বলেছেন scientists have warned for years that exploitation of the natural world, habitat destruction and intensive livestock farming will cause disease to move from animals to people. Rebels are encouraged to email a copy to their MP.
The letter’s sombre messengers, dressed in plague doctor outfits, marched to Downing Street and had their robes thoroughly searched by waiting police.
At the same time, Animal rebels appeared before Manchester Magistrates Court for shutting down the UK’s largest pig slaughterhouse তার আগের দিন.
A dozen activists glued themselves to coffins outside its entrance and locked on to the gas chambers on its roof. A pre-warning was sent to slaughterhouse staff to ensure no pigs were transported to the site during the blockade.
One brave Animal rebel managed to occupy the gas chambers until close, meaning no pigs were killed that day.
Tree defenders and sax solos in the Square
7-8 SEP | Parliament Square, London
Three brave rebels from HS2 বিদ্রোহ continue to hold their camp in the trees lining Parliament Square to protest the most expensive and environmentally destructive infrastructure project in UK history.
একটি ইন shocking abuse of power, the police denied the rebels food and water for 2 days, a grave violation of human rights protected by the Human Rights Act and The Prohibition Against Torture.
But that wasn’t going to stop the two compassionate members of the public who গ্রেপ্তার করা হয়েছিল trying to pass essential supplies up to the brave tree protectors.
Rebel police liaisons and XR Doctors did a fantastic job of negotiating with the police, who have thankfully now backed down and are providing food, water, and even basic toiletries!
It’s been a killer conversation-starter in Parliament Square, with the most popular question being: are they ever coming down?
In one tree protector’s case, maybe not? He’s planning to stay in the tree beyond the rebellion:
“It means everything to me to live in this tree and unite with others to stop HS2, the UK’s most Ecocidal scheme. Thousands of homes, hundreds of ancient woods, and countless wildlife are under threat."
While the rebels in the trees have been a focal point for the last two days, receiving a huge amount of love and support from those on the ground, the Rebellion in Parliament Square continues to be a lively hub of conversation, debate, and numerous spontaneous performances.
From the many scheduled trainings to improvised sax solos, to hula hoops and a man dressed as a pirate, the compassion and energy of the Rebellion has been easy to find in Parliament Square!
For a full week, rebels from a multi-faith allianceসহ XR মুসলমান, খ্রিস্টান জলবায়ু কর্ম, XR Jews এবং XR Buddhists দখলী a silent vigil for the Earth at Parliament Square.
Throughout the week, several members were arrested for meditating at actions – nonviolent disobedience doesn’t get more শান্তিপূর্ণ than that! On Monday evening, a special ceremony brought the vigil to a close.
Lightship Greta hits a wall of cops
5 সেপ | লন্ডন
সার্জারির Lightship Greta, a boat with a lighthouse for a mast and shopping trolley wheels, was finally wrecked by police on the A3 just after Kennington Park.
The red vessel had navigated some 70 miles of English roads over 6 long days of outreach, pushed over land and hill by a tireless rebel crew. By the time it rolled into south London, the boat’s reputation for peaceful protest was truly fearsome. Which is why it was met by over 100 police officers flanked by 14 police vans.
With the end in sight, one of the crew glued themselves to the vessel, while another chose to adhesively embrace the police removal vehicle. A third rebel was brutally pushed to the ground and hand-cuffed before they could reach their sticky target. The samba band played on to the bitter end.
Greta’s epic voyage began on the seafront boundary between Brighton and Hove, and to get the ship to London required careful traffic management, pothole avoidance, blister cream, numerous impromptu campsites and a whole harbour-full of determination from the 30-strong crew.
As soon as it entered metropolitan police territory, the Lightship Greta and its little dinghy on bicycle wheels was tailed by a couple of police vans. The indications were that it would be given free passage to its East London destination, but then came the BBC cameras and a startling display of police might for all the nation to be impressed by.
The Lightship Greta may now be in impounded pieces, but the spirit of the crew who pushed her lives on. After those salty sea-rebels regenerate, you can be sure there will be more Moving Rebellions afoot…

4 degrees is Mass Murder
7 SEP | লনডন
A brave Bristol rebel climbed onto the canopy above the front door of the ব্যবসায়, জ্বালানি ও শিল্প কৌশল বিভাগ in protest against the government’s inaction to prevent 4 degrees of global warming.
The father of four, a former teacher, spray painted “4 degrees is mass murder” onto the glass. He then unfurled a banner reading “ACT NOW FOR ALL OUR CHILDREN”.
He said, “My youngest child is only one. Within her lifetime, scientists tell us that we are likely to see 4 degrees of global warming. This is a nightmare that has already begun for millions across the Global South, where drought and hunger are on the rise.
As a father I cannot accept that for my children, or anyone’s child."
সরকার দাবি that we, rebels, are criminals who threaten our way of life. The truth is that their unwillingness to act now is the real threat to all of us.
Digital Rebellion rages on
Digital rebels are still keeping eyes, ears, web browsers and other available senses open to nudge MPs into supporting the CEE Bill.
Nine days in, 51 এমপি have already pledged their support. But we still need many more to get this bill through Parliament, check if your MP is on এই তালিকা and, if they’re not, ask them to back the bill with this easy online action.
Digital warriors have also called out the বিবিসি, making official complaints after Today presenter Justin Webb suggested on Radio 4 to Tim Crosland that the climate emergency is ‘a matter of opinion’. We wonder if he would say that to Californians currently dealing with a record-breaking 367 wildfires… Bash on, Digi-rebels!

XR এর মানুষ উপরে ফিরে যাও
“They always will characterise actions like XR blocking News Corps printing facilities as an attack on the free press. But can we really call it a free press if it’s five people controlling the news?”
"The system we have now is the most violent that’s ever been, so this is the only way you can fight back in some senses. I’m all for anything we can do to stop the Murdoch-led press.”
“When you have movements like XR and Black Lives Matter fighting for any type of cause you naturally find the police against you, because the role of the police has always been to curtail social justice and to defend the state. "
