Break Free Midwest action in Whiting, IN, USA

WHITING, INDIANA, USA -- Sunday, May 15th, 2016. Hundreds of people marched in Whiting, IN (Chicago area) as part of the Break Free global wave of action to demand an end to fossil fuels and a just transition to sustainable energy. Forty-three people were arrested outside the BP Whiting refinery.

 

Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.
