As part of the Global Day of Climate Action taking place during COP30, XR Oxford held an outreach action to sound the alarm on the Climate Emergency and raise awareness of the dangers of Rosebank, the biggest undeveloped oil and gas field in the North Sea 🛢️NO NEW FOSSIL FUEL PROJECTS🛢️

NO NEW FOSSIL FUEL PROJECTS! The Supreme Court ruled that consent for Rosebank was granted unlawfully because it did not include a full environmental impact assessment. Equinor has resubmitted its environmental impact assessment: government consultation terminates on 20 November #StopRosebank!

Suffragettes in Oxford draw attention to the unjust imprisonment of activists for the just cause of effective government action on climate change. @peaceandjustice.bsky.social @juststopoil.bsky.social @defendourjuries.bsky.social @climatejusticeuk.bsky.social @theoxfordmail.bsky.social

“We owe a lot to those who, like the suffragettes, struggled for our rights. Today I joined with other women in Oxford to protest against the imprisonment of peaceful individuals for non violent protest. 16 of them have a combined prison sentence of 41 years” @defendourjuries.bsky.social

Extinction Rebellion have dressed as Suffragettes on Cornmarket in protest against prison sentences for climate activists. Sixteen protestors from Just Stop Oil are appearing against imprisonment next week. XR Oxford say that the Suffragettes were ‘also political prisoners derided in their day’.

IT’S OFFICIAL, our climate is in breakdown... Tipping Points collapsing Heatwaves, hurricanes, floods, fires — everything is escalating, faster than we can adapt, faster than climate scientists predicted. The planet needs you. Are you in? #ClimateBreakdown #CaliforniaFires #PalisadesFire

As Gaie's MP I tried everything I could to challenge this decision to send her back to prison - including writing to the prisons minister Lord Timpson and the probation service. But they would not budge a millimetre. 🧵... www.channel4.com/news/77-year...

Incidentally, the policy Gaie was campaigning for, no new oil and gas extraction licences, is now, we are told, government policy. Absurd doesn't begin to cover it. Do we think that, perhaps, this government might be getting its priorities wrong?

URGENT!!! Deadline this Thursday 12th December!!! “Disposal of GrandPont Nature Park” Oxford City Council intend to sell off precious public land - without consulting us before they've decided to do so!

I’m sure Nick Ferrari will be as angry as he was at Just Stop Oil. Oh…

Ok tractors are blocking ambulances in central London now by Waterloo. Not deliberately, but it's having an impact
