📢 Will you help us be heard?

We'll welcome the participants with a silent protest in the morning, holding banners and placards (message: "they won't let me attend").

And during their lunch break, we're planning on making some noise so bring your drum if you have one 🥁

A number of environmental activists have applied to attend and they have all been refused.

It appears there won't be a valid environmental voice at the conference, just some greenwashing 😤

🤔 What for?

Lincolnshire County Council are running an energy conference and they have invited the CEO of Heyco, a US oil giant who's been trying to drill for oil and gas around Lincolnshire.

Photo of protesters holding banners of different colours. The main banner says "the science is clear, no new oil"

🔥 @xrlincoln.bsky.social NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT 🔥

📍Where?

Isaac Newton Building, Brayford Pool, Lincoln, LN67TS

⏰ 7:45-9am: silent protest
⏰ 1-2:30pm: noisy protest
