The 28 Greenpeace activists and two freelance journalists being detained in Russia have been officially been charged with piracy.
This week, our bail appeals are being heard in the Murmansk Regional Court. So far, the ships doctor, two of our activists and an independent photojournalist have all been denied bail. We expect the court to do the same to the rest of the Arctic30 in coming days.
These brave climate activists desperately need our help.
If you have not yet taken action, please send an urgent message to Russia’s US ambassador demanding Russia release the Arctic30, return the Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise, and an end to dangerous offshore oil drilling in the Arctic for good.
These people have risked everything to save our climate. If, like me, you stand with them and believe the action they took was necessary, take action today!

Sign this petition to the Russian Ambassador to the US:
“We are demanding the urgent release of all activists, the immediate withdrawal of the Russian Coast Guard from the Greenpeace ship, and an end to dangerous offshore oil drilling in the Arctic for good.”Fifteen armed Russian Federal Security Service officers have illegally boarded the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise via helicopter, stopped all outside communication and are currently holding more than 28 Greenpeace crew and activists and two journalists on board under armed guard.
These brave activists urgently need your help.
Please sign our petition to Russia’s US Ambassador demanding Russia release the activists, immediately withdraw the Security Services from the Greenpeace ship, and put an end to offshore oil drilling in the Arctic for good.
On the morning of September 18th, Greenpeace activists attempted to peacefully hang a banner on an off-shore oil platform owned by Russian oil giant Gazprom.
But when they arrived, Russian Federal Security Service commandos fired warning shots and threatened the activists’ lives — ultimately taking two protesters with them against their will, without laying charges, without legal representation.
Then, just hours ago, Russian special forces returned and took control of the ship. That’s why we’re mounting an international effort to get them back to us safely along with the release of the Greenpeace ship and all those on board. And it starts with having people around the world putting pressure on the Russian government.
Sign our urgent petition to the Russian Ambassador and Secretary Kerry demanding the Russian Coast Guard release the 28 activists and crew and two journalists immediately and give Greenpeace back its ship.
The people onboard the Arctic Sunrise need your support now more than ever. Please take action today. Our goal is to get 75,000 signatures in the next two days.
For the Arctic and for the right to peaceful protest,
Nicky Davies
Greenpeace USA Campaign Director
P.S. It’s going to take an international public outcry to free the 28 Greenpeace activists and two journalists currently being held under armed guard on board the Arctic Sunrise. Please take action and forward this to your family and friends.
