Are you also disgusted by the dirty practices of the fossil fuel
industry and their heavy contributions to the climate and ecological
crisis we are facing? Then join us for an legal action without
possibility of arrest, against Shell on February 3, 2020 at the Zernike
Campus.
_Extinction Rebellion Groningen organizes this action in cooperation
with Code Rood
(https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Environmental-Conservation-Organization/coderoodgroningen/posts/)
as the closing of the “Shell Must Fall” action week. This action
specifically targets the influence Shell has on the University and the
Hanze Hogeschool Groningen. Shell uses its power to influence higher
education and to present itself in a positive way to us students, for
example, by advertising jobs and by sponsoring many student
organisations. We are demanding that the educational institutions and
Shell make their allies more transparent (the funding Shell pays to
higher education and research projects) and that Shell makes its
intentions public (recruiting highly educated students directly from
university to maintain its power in the fossil fuel industry). It’s
time to tell the truth!_
_We will have a briefing at beforehand at 11:30 in front of the “AH to
go” on Zernike (bus stop: Nijenborgh). Everyone can participate in this
action – regardless their prior experiences or whether they are a
student or not. The whole action will take about two hours and it is
possible to leave earlier if necessary._
_Looking forward to seeing you there!_
