Hi Jayne,

You saw how we created huge embarrassment for Shell at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday. But now Formula 1 is trying to silence us online and censor our attempts to expose Shell’s Arctic drilling plans.

They told Google to remove our video from YouTube. So now we’ve put it on Facebook.

Please share it as widely as you can to stop our video about Shell being censored.

(If you don’t use Facebook, please forward this email to your friends.)

It’s our footage. Shot by us. So it’s outrageous that they took it down. We need to fight back. And with support like yours, the campaign to Save The Arctic will only get stronger.

All together,

Nic and the Greenpeace crew around the world
