Help the ShellNo Mukilteo 5
In the early morning hours of June 30th, 21 courageous ShellNo kayaktivists in 16 kayaks launched off Mukilteo, WA, to confront and attempt to blockade and slow down Shell's second Arctic drilling oil rig, the Ig-Noble Discoverer, as it departed the port of Everett on it's way to Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
5 of these kayaktivists were detained and pulled out of their kayaks by the US Coast Guard for refusing to leave the 500 yard safety zone around the rig and the Foss tug boats towing it as they advanced towards them.
4 of those detained were fined $500 and I was fined $2,500 (because I had already being detained two weeks prior trying to stop the Polar Pioneer in Seattle).
Please help us raise $4,500 to pay these fines.
This is a small price to pay to help those who have been actively working to defend the Arctic and future generations in the name of Climate Justice.
Thank you for your support!!
Here's some of the media coverage of the action:
