Just Stop Oil is planning to go out with one final protest this weekend after the group announced an imminent end to its large-scale action.

Members have pledged to “hang up the hi-vis” after disruptive stands against what they claim is a lack of action on the climate crisis.

On Saturday the group will descend on central London and “go out in a blaze of orange”.

Coordinator Hannah Hunt said: “Three years after bursting on the scene in a blaze of orange, at the end of April the Just Stop Oil campaign will be hanging up the hi-vis.

“Just Stop Oil’s demand to end new oil and gas is now government policy, making us one of the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history. We’ve made fossil-fuel licensing front page news and kept over 4.4bn barrels of oil in the ground, while courts have ruled new oil and gas unlawful.

“But it’s time to change. We are heading for 2C of global heating in the coming decade, resulting in billions being killed, mass civil unrest and social collapse. Meanwhile, we are seeing corporations and billionaires buying political power and using it to punch down on the weak and the vulnerable.”

The action comes one day before the London Marathon will bring hundreds of thousands into the capital.

Where will the action take place this weekend?

The final ever Just Stop Oil demonstration will take the form of a march to Parliament on Saturday April 26, from midday. The group will meet at St James’s Park next to Parliament Square.

The Metropolitan Police has not commented.
