https:https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2023/05/23/shell-agm-disrupted-and-vanguard-and-blackrock-targeted-by-xr-fossil-free-london-and-allies/Scores of activists from XR and Fossil Free London unleashed a new wave of disruption against fossil fuel giant Shell and two of their major financiers BlackRock and Vanguard. Dozens of protesters infiltrated Shell’s AGM preventing the event from starting for an hour with songs, chants, and speeches. Later in the meeting activist shareholders attempted to storm the stage but were prevented by a ring of security guards before being manhandled out of the hall. Outside Vanguard and BlackRock a person with a giant Rishi Sunak head spewed oil over the Earth highlighting the close financial links between the Prime Minister’s family and the fossil fuel industry.
