🕯️Vigil for the trees, 29 April, 8.45pm - 9.15pm
🏰 Clifford’s Tower, York

Join a short candlelit vigil on 29 April to mourn the loss of ancient trees destroyed by Drax 🌳🔥

On this day, shareholders at Drax’s AGM in London will celebrate using taxpayer money to harm communities and pollute vital ecosystems💰

The only way Drax survived last year was through massive public subsidies - over £2.6m a day 😵‍💫

Instead of facing the public, and members of the communities they’re polluting, Drax’s executives are choosing to hide behind their screens 🫥

It doesn’t matter: we can all see the truth. Drax has no place here. We all deserve better.

When you care so deeply, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the state of the world.

We can’t always control what happens around us, but we can look after our own wellbeing so we aren’t always pouring from an empty cup ☕️

We’re at our best when we’re rested. So, take some time for yourself at this gentle evening session - designed by activists for activists - featuring arts, crafts, and relaxed discussion in a vibey space 💖

If you have any questions, slide into the DMs!

Let’s start 2026 right. With RAGE 💜
