Shell AGMS

Opportunities to inform the Public

The May and June AGM period of Shell Annual meetings in London and Amsterdam should be the specific annual period where the focus should be on giving the Irsh public factual and visual information on the record of Shell worldwide as it struggles to find its feet in Irish waters.This should be the goal in every activity during this period so that people come to know once again why there is opposition to Shell in Mayo, and Ireland is in union with other Shell- suffering comminities who will be making their voices heard at this time. At the very least lots of placard information and messages.

The recent account of Shell in the Niger Delta in the National Geographic provides good visual material and the well timed and focussed action of Friends of the Earth on gas flaring in the Niger Delta illustrate approach during the Shell AGM period.

Great stuff. Perhaps you'll be able to tell us exactly what you'll be doing along these lines?
