About the event
The climate crisis deepens with terrifying predictability. Meanwhile, the courageous young campaigners who seek to wake us up to the truth of this, through peaceful direct action, are silenced and stuck in prison. Theirs is a generation systematically betrayed by politicians. And by all of us who allow this to continue, on our watch, year after year.
Just Stop Oil stopped active campaigning in March 2025. But for most of its remarkable young activists, the work of civil resistance goes on. Jonathon Porritt spent a year working with twenty-six Just Stop Oil campaigners to co-create Love, Anger & Betrayal. Unflinching, urgent and necessary, the book is driven by a fierce commitment to intergenerational justice.
Join us for an intergenerational conversation based on deep experience and the utmost respect.
