Incredible.
This morning, just as Shell's oil rig was about to leave the harbour in
Seattle, Greenpeace USA activists blocked them from leaving with their kayaks
and a huge “Shell No” sign.
They’re a few brave
individuals. But they didn't do it alone - there’s millions of us standing side
by side with them across the world. In fact, you’re what’s kept
them going. “This truly feels like a David and Goliath stand-off. But I’m not
scared – because I know that over 7 million people like you are here with me.”
These are the words of John Hocevar, one of the activists who was there.
Stand with John now and
demand a stop to Arctic drilling:
We might not be able to physically block Shell’s oil
rig like John did, but we do have a chance to send a clear message to someone
with the power to stop Shell’s shady plans altogether. That’s President Obama. He’s already feeling the
pressure from our 7 million strong movement. Now thanks to these brave
activists, and the headlines they’ll make, we can step this up a gear. Tell
President Obama to revoke Shell’s Arctic drilling license. Email him now:

Obama’s time as President is running out - and just like when anyone leaves a top job he wants to leave in a blaze of glory. American Presidents want roads and schools named after them. Surely, Obama doesn't want to be remembered for being the “leader of the free world” that ignored the world when it came to stopping climate change and protecting our beautiful Arctic.
Greenpeace USA activists have made sure that when Barack Obama picks up his newspaper with his breakfast tomorrow morning he’s faced with a front page splash telling him to stop Arctic drilling before it’s too late. Now we can make sure when he checks his inbox it’s flooded with the same urgent message:
