Meet 1 PM at Oxford Circus
BP want to start extracting oil from the tar sands, the single most
destructive project on earth - fuelling climate chaos and trampling the
rights of indigenous communities. We want to stop them.

Party at the Pumps
On Saturday, 10th April, hundreds of people from London and beyond will
gather at the pumps to send a message to BP: “you’re not going into the
tar sands without a fight!”
Come to a mass action! Bring yourselves, your friends, whistles and drums
if you have them, and a Zone 1-2 travel card. Meet at Oxford Circus and be
ready to make a move to our final destination.

The BP Fortnight of Shame (April 1 – 15 2010) is a call to action from the
UK Tar Sands Network, Rising Tide, the Camp for Climate Action and the
Indigenous Environmental Network to force BP to reverse their crazy plans
to move into Canada’s tar sands. It runs between the annual Fossil Fools
day on April 1st, which in recent years has seen a flurry of action
against the fossil fuels industry, and BP’s Annual General Meeting on
April 15th. Grassroots groups across the UK and around the world, will be
taking action in solidarity with First Nations communities in Canada to
stop BP’s deadly plans in their tracks.

of Indigenous Peoples empowering Indigenous Nations and communities towards
sustainable livelihoods, demanding environmental justice and maintaining the
Sacred Fire of our traditions. Our Native Energy and Climate Campaign
strengthens and builds the capacity and political power of Indigenous
Peoples to address the impacts of fossil fuel energy development in
Indigenous communities and motivate the creation of sustainable and clean
energy and climate policies at all levels of governance.
The Canadian Indigenous Tar Sands Campaign (CITSC), based in Ottawa, Canada
is a Native-based campaign implemented through IEN as part of its Native
Energy and Climate Program. The campaign goal is to seek a moratorium on
further tar sands expansion."
"IEN is a founder to the UK Tar Sands Network and is working closely with groups
internationally to call out BP through our fortnight of shame campaign
leading up the BP shareholder meeting".
