Arrested anti-whaling activists need your support

Story

We were arrested in Iceland after peacefully protesting the slaughter of endangered fin whales. We climbed into the crow’s nests of two commercial whaling vessels—delaying the hunt for over 33 hours and shining a global spotlight on a practice the world cannot ignore. This was peaceful, civil disobedience. Now, we face serious legal consequences for standing up for what’s right. We are fundraising to do everything we can to win this case because defending the right to protest is vital to protect our planet and all its inhabitants. Any money raised above legal costs will go towards ending whaling in Iceland for good. Why this matters: • Fin whales are a vulnerable species. Each individual matters in their survival. • Iceland is one of the last countries still engaged in commercial whaling, despite international outcry and shifting public opinion. • Peaceful protest is a fundamental human right—no one should be punished for standing up against cruelty. We put our bodies on the line to stop a grave injustice. Now, will you stand with us? Donate if you can. Share to spread the word. Help protect the whales - and the people defending them.
