Thank you for joining the No Clean up, No Justice campaign.

Our campaign calling for Shell to clean up the Niger Delta and pay up for the damages done by their, is in full action. People are organising events and bringing people together in solidarity as a vital step in bringing about change. When we learn and educate people about the human rights abuses caused by Shell’s operations, we can hold the UK corporate accountable, together and call on them to clean up and pay up!  If you want to read more about the campaign background, you can have a look here.
