BLOODY MONEY: Tar Sands, Ross­port, Niger Delta

On the 8th of Feb this year Occu­py Oil held it first day of mass action.

Shell Sta­tions across the UK and indeed fur­ther afield were block­ad­ed or pick­et­ed. We are back and on the 22nd of May 2012 we are hold­ing Occu­py Oil the Sequel, Roy­al Dutch Shell will be hold­ing their AGM in The Hague with an audio-visu­al link to a satel­lite meet­ing place in Lon­don.

We are call­ing on all occu­piers, groups and indi­vid­u­als to come togeth­er and send a clear mes­sage to Shell.

TAR SANDS, CANADA

Roy­al Dutch Shell is one of the largest play­ers in tar sands, pro­duc­ing approx­i­mate­ly 276 000 bar­rels per day or rough­ly 20% of total exports from Alber­ta. Shell has put forth appli­ca­tions to expand its capac­i­ty through new mines and in situ projects, to a pro­ject­ed 770 000 bar­rel per day capac­i­ty. How­ev­er, strong com­mu­ni­ty resis­tance to Shell has dam­aged their rep­u­ta­tion with both share­hold­ers and the pub­lic. Indeed, Shell has been named in five law­suits relat­ed to tar sands devel­op­ments and has faced share­hold­er res­o­lu­tions demand­ing greater clar­i­ty over the risk of tar sands invest­ments.

It’s time to make a stand. On 22nd of May 2012 we will occu­py petrol sta­tions across the GLOBE. We call on activists to organ­ise your­selves into affin­i­ty groups and join this action world-wide. Make ban­ners, get sound sys­tems and pick tar­gets. As the date approach­es we can co-ordi­nate actions for max­i­mum impact. Let’s send anoth­er shot in our war against the glob­al elites.
