Find their descriptions and links to their campaigns below - please consider signing and supporting their campaigns if their descriptions encompass you, or pass on these campaigns to parents, culture workers or academics in your life.
Parents for
Palestine
P4P are UK parents from all backgrounds and denominations who come together to protest the violence, devastation and death faced in Palestine. They are asking parents to request their schools pause visits to the Science Museum until they drop their partnership with Adani, who along with being the world’s largest private producer of coal is a major producer of arms and military equipment to Israel, including in partnership with Elbit systems.
Culture
unstained
Culture Unstained are a research, engagement and campaigning organisation which aims to end fossil fuel sponsorship of culture. They have been campaigning for years to pressure the Science Museum to drop fossil fuel sponsors including Adani, BP, Shell and Equinor.
They are working with culture workers, academics and scientists on their latest boycott push - including a signed letter to board trustees and a pledge to refuse engagement events with the museum.
