A judge handed down record sentences of up to five years earlier this month to Just Stop Oil protesters under the Act.

In 2019, Policy Exchange, which has received funding from US oil giant Exxon Mobil, released a report titled “Extremism Rebellion.”
Campaigners credited the report as helping shape the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act, a piece of draconian legislation which clamps down on the right to protest peacefully.

Most activists don’t have arrestable roles - scientists and the UN encourage everyone to get active in civil disobedience actions if we are to have a LIVEABLE future-so if you feel like getting involved we need all the help we can get - just a few of us ain’t going to cut it-

Policy Exchange is occupied by in Westminster by Extinction Rebellion Several Extinction Rebellion activists were arrested after occupying the Policy Exchange in Westminster this morning (July 29). A person dressed as a grim reaper also sat atop a metal tripod in dramatic protest against the companies with fossil fuel interests funding of the organisation.

Protestors entered Policy Exchange’s notorious Westminster offices on Monday 29 July to demand an end to a campaign of lies and disinformation that has slowed climate action and led directly to long jail sentences for activists:

The group poured pools of black liquid outside the Policy Exchange building alongside a yellow sign reading “Caution: slippery with the truth”.

Scientist warns of ‘very scary’ nature decline as green groups unite to protest More than 350 charities, businesses and direct action groups are set to take part in the Restore Nature Now march on Saturday.

The Guardian has refused to put a response up from anyone in the movement to the cynical attack piece it allowed the Barclays CEO to publish one week ago.
