Week of action against RBS' investments in tar sands

WDM, together with People and Planet, have called a week of action to stop RBS from investing our money in dirty and unethical projects such as tar sands.

Wednesday 28 April is RBS’ AGM. Demonstrations will be happening outside the AGM conference and outside RBS branches across the UK to protest against the investment of our money in tar sands companies linked to human rights abuses of indigenous communities.

In Scotland, WDM will be joining forces with Amnesty International, Friends of the Earth Scotland, People & Planet and SEAD to organise a protest outside the AGM centre. Eriel Deranger, a Rainforest Action Network activist, who is from an indigenous community affected by tar sands extraction, will be speaking inside the AGM.

In London, WDM and People & Planet will be using a ‘tar sands digger’ to demand a stop to RBS using our money to invest in ‘blood oil’ and other destructive projects. We will be stopping by an undisclosed RBS branch, the Treasury and the House of Commons to make sure our message is being heard.

WDM and People & Planet groups are going to be making their voices heard outside RBS branches in major cities across the country. The map below shows which cities are being targeted.
