The Greenpeace Thermal Airship A.E. Bates flies over the Dallas, Texas area as part of a campaign confronting Exxon before its upcoming shareholder meeting on May 31st. The annual shareholder meeting in Texas is the perfect opportunity to hold the company accountable for its harmful endeavor of an oil state and oil diplomacy.

Participants enjoy an evening campfire under the stars. Activists gather for a direct action camp designed to train the growing movement in Virginia against the Atlantic Coast and Mountain Valley pipelines. The objective is to teach participants ways to use our bodies to protect our communities, our lands, and our climate from powerful fossil fuel interests who want to carve up these beautiful mountains for profit.

The ship is on a tour following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed. The report documents the communities threatened by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would worsen the effects of global warming, risk poisoning water, jeopardize the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on clean coasts, violate Indigenous sovereignty, and threaten the extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, of which only 75 remain.

A containment boom wraps around a car as workers assess the damage on the scene of a crude oil train derailment in Watertown, Wisconsin on November 9, 2015. The 110-car Canadian Pacific train derailed about 200pm on November 8, 2015 forcing the evacuation of about 35 homes in the area. A total of 13 cars derailed and one car was punctured, spilling less than 1,000 gallons of crude oil, according to the company. The issue of trains filled with crude oil and the potential for explosions has emerged as a concern for residents who live in bigger cities. Photo by Allen Fredrickson

Employees for UC Davis' Oiled Wildlife Care Network search for affected animals inside a containment area as crews work to contain a nearly 600 gallon oil spill in Richmond, California on February 10, 2021. As the pandemic drags on, some residents of the Bay Area faced a different kind of health emergency on February 9th: an oil spill. Around 600 gallons of an oil-and-water mixture spilled from a Chevron oil refinery in Richmond, California into the San Francisco Bay, the company told local health authorities.
The incident triggered a Level 2 health advisory from the local health department for residents of three surrounding communities, which was lifted later in the evening. Other agencies said that they are continuing the investigation, especially watching for any impacts the spill might have on wildlife.
Richmond is predominantly Black and Latino, groups often exposed to higher levels of pollution, and as a result, face more health problems. Refineries like Chevron’s have historically been sited in communities of color, while other historic injustices such as redlining have locked in still more negative public health impacts today.

Activists from across Washington and Oregon take action by land and sea to protect our waters, our communities, and our climate from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. A rally and march on land and a flotilla of kayaks and canoes swarming Kinder Morgan’s marine terminal from the water. Participating organizations in the Stop Kinder Morgan Action Council include: 350 Seattle, 350 Tacoma, Mosquito Fleet, Protectors of the Salish Sea, Students for the Salish Sea, Greenpeace USA, Sierra Club Washington Chapter, and Stand.earth.
Especially worrying is the proximity of the Kolubara mining operations to the inhabited houses and the municipal cemetery in Barosevac.
The graveyard of Barosevac is still not relocated. Mining works have started all around it, while the legal issue surrounding the relocation have not been solved.

The Wills Climate and Environment Advisory Group met with Peter Khalil MP on 6 August 2024 and again highlighted the 12 new Fossil fuel projects Labor has approved since May 2022, continuing fossil fuel subsidies running at $14.5billion per year, and the need for a Climate Trigger in national environment laws. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese proposed a climate trigger against dangerous climate change in 2005. So Labor know what needs doing. The latest climate Action tracker assessment from 23 December 2023 also assessed Australia’s climate finance as critically insufficient.
End Dependence (on Fossil Fuels) Day
Sacramento, CA - July 4, 2023
On End Dependence Day, The Last Chance Alliance, Oil and Gas Action Network, Women With Bows and many other Environmental and Social Justice groups, came together at the state capitol in Sacramento with a 12 "Oil Derrick" art installation. They called on Governor Gavin Newsom to: End Dependence on fossil fuels, stop approving new fossil fuel projects and stop all drilling near homes, schools and hospitals.
Climate Justice groups teamed up with groups working on indigenous rights, racial justice, LGBTQ issues, homelessness, poverty, immigrant rights, and more for a Community Unity Gathering to demand Newsom ’end-dependence’ on fossil fuels and highlight the needs of the community!

Activist gather for a regional training for the growing movement of water-based fossil fuel resistance in the Pacific Northwest. The purpose of the gathering is to strengthen on-water resistance to Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. The project directly threatens the health of our local communities and ecosystems, as well as global climate. The camp is presented by the Mosquito Fleet in partnership with Greenpeace.
Terry Christenson, a 70-year-old grandfather of two and a former Juno nominee, scaled a tree on the inside of Kinder Morgan's Westbridge Terminal fence and erected a mid-fair camp suspended from its trunk. It is the latest round of activists protests at the Kinder Morgan site. Indigenous Peoples, senior citizens and members of Greenpeace founding families block the front gates to Kinder Morgan’s construction site on Burnaby Mountain.in British Columbia. In solidarity with Coast Salish communities, they aim to show the world that Canada is going down the wrong path on climate and on reconciliation with Indigenous Nations in building this pipeline.
On May 31st New Yorkers from across the city are going to be descending on the Clean Energy Standard hearing in lower Manhattan to help spark a renewable energy revolution in the Empire State. We need you there with us for our climate, our economy, and the city we love. This is the big one.

Washington DC, Saturday April 29, 2017. Tens of thousands of climate justice activists gathered near the U.S. Capitol for a march to the White House. The very large group circled the White House and staged a brief symbolic 'sit in'. Shamed, President Donald J. Trump escaped to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for yet another campaign style rally with the suckers who voted for him.
