The construction of LNG-terminals is a climate crime. That’s why yesterday (12 August) we not only blocked the LNG construction site #Wilhelmshaven with our bodies, but also put the tools of destruction out of operation more lastingly 🛠️
Holding on to fossil fuels is no longer acceptable. They are costing human lives and driving global catastrophe at breakneck speed. Every day in the Global South, people experience the violence of fossil capitalism, from which we in the wealthy North benefit.
It is violence by the corporations of the industrialized countries, violence by neocolonial exploitation of people and resources, by land grabbing and displacement. It is the violence of the climate crisis. It is happening now.
We need #SystemChange. Such radical change is only achievable with civil disobedience. But civil disobedience has never exhausted itself in protests in the streets or in being carried off. Civil disobedience is also disobedient revolt.
By means of well-aimed interventions, we disrupted a small part of the fossil status quo yesterday and ensured that this site remains stopped beyond our presence. 🛠️
We are the #investmentrisk. #StopColonialViolence.
