JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA -- Saturday, May 14th, 2016. Activists from 350.org converged at the Zoo Lake this morning and walked to the Gupta's residence where they demand a just response to climate change and deliver a coffin full of coal symbolizing the end of coal during a Break Free action.
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.

Greenpeace USA activists held a street theater performance demanding members of Congress endorse the End Polluter Welfare Act which was just reintroduced today and eliminate all fossil fuel subsidies via the American Jobs Plan.
The satirical game show “The Big Oil Cash Grab” featured “fossil fuel industry CEOs” as contestants as they grabbed “taxpayer-funded handouts” from inside a cash booth near the US Capitol.

Greenpeace Activist Naomi Ages carries the 'Resist' message to President Trump and the Interior Department in Washington, D.C. Trump signed an order for the Interior Department to review 20 years' worth of monument designations on federal land across the country. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke told reporters that under Trump's order, he will consider whether monument designations at up to 40 sites should be “rescinded, resized or modified in order to better benefit our public lands.”

WASHINGTON DC, USA -- Sunday, May 15th, 2016. Hundreds of climate activists protest at a rally organized by the Break Free movement against fossil fuel projects. Demonstrators went to the streets at the nation's capital to protest in front of the White House, calling on the decision makers in Washington DC to support the transition to renewable energy instead of coal, oil and gas energy.

The Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise 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.
Activists sent a message to Congress to stop West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin and New York Senator Chuck Schumer's Dirty Deal that would fast track oil, gas, and coal projects. The deal could sacrifice lives and the health of communities, silence voices by gutting environmental reviews and public comment, and sabotage the chance for a livable future.

Greta Thunberg speaks to the audience at the climate strike. People across the U.S. left their homes, workplaces, and schools for a youth-led Global Climate Strike. They marched and rallied to demand transformative action to address the climate crisis, and called on leaders to choose to side with young people, not fossil fuel executives polluting the planet for profit.
The September 20-27 global week of action is the beginning of a reckoning for the fossil fuel industry that will launch a growing movement of millions of people through the 2020 election toward a more just, green, and peaceful future for all.

Approximately a dozen people climbed into the pipeline trenches making the connection between this new fracked gas fossil fuel project and the mass graves being prepared in anticipation of the coming climate fueled Summer heat.

WELLS FARGO DIVEST! A 'Block Party' on Wells Fargo's doorstep
July 14, 2023
San Francisco, CA
6 Climate Activists were arrested, cited and released on Friday as part of an action to demand a stop to the bank’s reckless funding of fossil fuels. Activists locked down in front of Wells Fargo's security gates, blocking the entrance and forcing the branch to close.
Outside, many local climate groups came together with live music, street theater, wheat paste and to paint a giant mural reading "WELLS FARGO--HEAT, FLOODS, FIRE--DIVEST FROM OIL & GAS".
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.

Greenpeace delivers its message demanding Jeff Bezos and Amazon board members protect workers and the planet on the eve of the company's annual shareholder meeting. Tens of thousands of people have joined Greenpeace's #NoTech4Oil campaign, urging Amazon to end its artificial intelligence contracts with Oil and Gas companies.

Greenpeace’s historic ship, the Arctic Sunrise, returns to Seattle, Washington through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. “The Arctic Sunrise is here because of the threat to Pacific Northwest communities from the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion,” said Rachel Rye Butler, a Pipeline Campaigner with Greenpeace. “The pipeline expansion would violate Indigenous sovereignty and cause a sevenfold increase in tar sands tanker traffic down the West Coast, threatening extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, and jeopardizing the thousands of tourism and fishing industry jobs that depend on clean coasts.”

Resist the Pipeline
Oakland, CA - On October 23rd, ninety-two of the world's largest banks met in São Paulo, Brazil to vote on a policy that upholds Indigenous people's right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) to allow or disallow projects on their lands. Local activists and environmental allies protested against three of the banks involved with the financing of dirty fossil fuel projects (like the Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL). The day started off with a prayer circle, followed by three divestment actions at Wells Fargo, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase. This action was part of a global divestment movement, where over 50 actions were held across the world.

Actress and director Bonnie Wright (R-center) joined Greenpeace USA activists including Kate Melges (R) at Coca-Cola headquarters to deliver the message accepted by Coca-Cola Communications Director Ann Moore (L) and Senior Director of Environmental Policies Ben Jordan (L-center) that more than 585,000 people want the company to abandon single-use plastics. Greenpeace launched a global campaign spanning five continents on Coke in 2017. Greenpeace is urging the company to phase out throwaway plastic, introduce reusable containers and innovative delivery systems, and ensure that all remaining packaging is 100 percent recycled.
