Protect the Human

Shell AGM today

You know this appeal we mentioned that allowed Amnesty UK to raise money for a high-profile campaign on the day of Shell's AGM (today)?

The advert went in the Metro and the Evening Standard
The van is looking good and has been going round the area where the Shell AGM is taking place

However, the Financial Times have very disappointedly changed their mind about running the ad. Looks like we need to launch a campaign to shame them too...

If you are on Twitter please share your thoughts about Shell (or pictures of you looking at the advert in the papers that did publish it) to @shelldotcom or use the #shellagm hash tag. If you need inspiration, have a look at the Amnesty report on Shell's actions (PDF file)

Negligible consolation, but in related news, the photos of our protest on Saturday have been featured on Protect the Human, as a homepage highlight and in the Demand Dignity section! Well done to all those who turned up and made it a successful event.

Here's the beautiful advert:
