Hi barbara - Thank you so much for standing up for our activists in the Arctic. You’ve sent the email saying you do not agree with the aggressive intimidation of peaceful protesters. Now we’re asking you to go one step further and make a call to the Russian Embassy in Wellington. It’s essential that they hear from as many people as possible, and email is great, but phone calls are even more effective. NOTE: Given that the Greenpeace activists are being held by Russian Authorities, it is important to be respectful but firm with whoever you talk to at the Embassy. Here are the phone numbers for the Russian Embassy in Wellington: (04) 476-6742 (04) 476-9548 Please be polite but firm, and call on them to: - Free the 25 activists who have been detained on board the Arctic Sunrise, and order the Russian Coast Guard to holster their guns and withdraw immediately from our ship. - Prioritise investigation into the destructive activities of oil companies in the Arctic, and not aggressive intimidation of peaceful protesters. - Ban offshore oil drilling in the Arctic for good. You can stay up to date with the latest developments via the live feed here: savethearctic.org/en-NZ/action4arctic Thank you, Nick and the whole crew at Greenpeace #SaveTheArctic
