XR Cambridge Glue On To Cut Fossil Fuel Ties students demand their school cut ties with fossil fuel company, SLB Schlumberger
SLB is a worldwide oil services company. The blockade succeeded in blocking at least one delivery throughout the day.
Peach said, “I’m here glued on to the back gate of SLB’s or Schlumberger’s Research Center in Cambridge. One of the things that inspired me to be here today is hearing how the indigenous people in Ecuador have managed to win a referendum to end extraction or at least cause a halt to it in Yasuni. Schlumberger’s technology, including technology developed here some of their drillOps technology has been used to expand drilling in Yasuni and Ecuador…. We also know that Cambridge University has rated this organization as “red” - worse than BP And Shell. It’s out of line with their own science based climate targets. Cambridge has cut some ties, but this building is still here.”
Two arrests were eventually made. The XR Cambridge group was joined by ORCA, formerly XR Youth Cambridge. Orca stands for “Organizing Radical Cambridge Activists.” SLB is a worldwide oil services company. The blockade succeeded in blocking at least one delivery throughout the day.
