Great work! You defined the issue and drew the line between right and wrong, a thriving future or a future dominated by an increasingly rapacious fossil fuel industry. What’s next??? Can’t stop now!

This is a fantastic action! You confronted the very executives who make a point of being hard to confront. You rallied a ton of students who probably had a very empowering first experience of direct activism. And it was elegant, stealthy, visually striking and well executed.

I love it – true campaigning spirit: “We saw an opportunity- and they just made it so easy.”

Keep up the great work!
