  • Just Stop Oil Ends Three-Year Campaign with Final Day of Action.<br>On Saturday, April 26th, 2025, activists from Just Stop Oil gathered in St James’ Park for what they described as their final day of action. From there, they marched to he Royal Courts of Justice then across Waterloo Bridge, before continuing to Shell’s offices near Jubilee Gardens. The demonstration marked the conclusion of a three-year campaign characterised by civil resistance and high-profile protests, all aimed at ending new oil and gas licensing in the UK. In a public statement, the group announced, “After three years, we’re hanging up the hi-vis,” signalling a close to their signature tactics of disruption and high-visibility protest., Credit:Abdullah Bailey / Avalon
