Episode 30 - Just Stop Oil with Zoe Cohen, climate campaigner

Rebel Justice - changing the way you see justice

This week we bring you Zoe Cohen, a self employed mum who has had a successful coaching career and was previously a senior manager in the NHS. Zoe was one of 51 people who broke an injunction which protects the fossil fuel industry, and was remanded for contempt of court.
All these people are in ongoing civil resistance as part of the Just Stop Oil campaign, whose simple demand is for the UK Government to end all new oil and gas projects, thereby rapidly accelerating the transition to a safer, fairer world. Zoe brings us a privileged perspective of being a campaigner, but also a woman with lived experience of our criminal justice system.
The Just Stop Oil campaign is currently occupying Westminster in a daily protest during the month of October.
