System change

Together with Greenpeace UK, we intervened to help bring about an important legal victory which resulted in lengthy sentences reduced for Just Stop Oil activists. A key legal test over the right to protest has culminated in a critical win for 6 out of 16 climate activists in an appeal at the Court of Appeal. But more needs to be done going forwards: we don't believe that peaceful protest for sounding the alarm about the climate crisis should result in jail time.
