Lest We Forget-June 15, 2015-Paddle For Seattle

It has now been 10 years since this direct action. I was there. I and over 1000 others put 400 kayaks into the water in a blockade effort. This direct action was part of Greenpeace's Shell No! campaign (aka Paddle for Seattle)

Kayakativists Blockade Shell's Arctic Bound Oil Rig (Web Video)

Environmental activists blockade Shell's Drilling Rig Polar Pioneer delaying its departure from Seattle's Elliott Bay bound for the Arctic. The Polar Pioneer is one of two drilling vessels heading towards the Arctic for Shell this year. The second, the Noble Discoverer, is one of the oldest drill ships in the world.
