RED CARD for RWE: Shareholders Meeting Thur. 4.26.2018 8:00-14:00
On this aniversary of Chernobyl Disaster RWE annual stockholders meeting will take place in the convention center in Essen. To respond to RWE continuation of climate disasterism and its destruction of ecosystems and communities world-wide a Red Lines action will take place around the convention center at 8:00, where a coalition of groups, struggles and initiatives will converge to give RWE a Red Card for the following reasons:
Red card for the climate killer RWE!
Red card for the repression against climate activists!
Red card for the destruction of the Hambach Forest and forced relocations!
Red card for uranium deliveries to breakdown reactors Tihange and Doel
Red card for uranium shipments to the US for nuclear weapons tritium
Red card for RWE-AKW Lingen 2 and Gundremmingen C
Red card for the health hazard!
Red card for blood coal from Colombia and Russia!
The list is long: Despite climate change and the energy transition, RWE continues to rely on fossil fuels, especially coal. RWE destroys forests, villages and endangers the health of many people and the global climate. Despite nuclear phase-out, RWE supplies the Tihange and Doel breakdown reactors and is involved in the Gronau uranium enrichment plant. RWE earns millions in this life-threatening situation for Europe. We can not tolerate that!
We can not tolerate RWE constant co-option of the political, legal and law-enforcement infrastructure as its complicit in Climate Collapse represive aparatus. SYSTEM CHANGE NOT CLIMATE CHANGE!!
Join other Climate Justice and grass-roots activists from around the world to engage in open criticism of RWE at 1300 at the Essen City hall. Essen is the seat of RWE headquarters and is heavily invested in this destructive corporation.
FCK RWE!!!
Progressing climate, social and ecological breakdown is pulling the rest of society and western civilization down into a downward spiral of militarized “creeping fascism” disaster-capitalism. This dynamic is seen nowhere better than on the front-line of green resistance against extractionism here in Hambach Forest. It is reflected by the treatment of our comrades who have been automatically imprisoned for blockading RWE deforestation and for choosing to stay anonymous. Instead of being given a mere illusion and pretense of “fair trial” instead show the true ugly face of repression and the spectacle that the co-option of local politicians and police by coal extractionism has made of the legal system.
