Stop Rosebank: Climate Craftivism Project
Join our climate craftivism project to Stop Rosebank!
Update (April 2026): Since we launched this action, the government have requested additional information from the prospective field operators on the climate impacts of the fossil fuels that would be extracted from the sites. That means the final decision is likely to not be announced for some months but suggests the government is seriously considering the impact of not only the extraction phase but also the burning of the fossil fuels further down the line.

Craftivism is a gentle way to protest. We use creativity to reflect, build relationships and encourage people in power to make positive change. Sarah Corbett is one well-known craftivist who inspired this project!
To continue supporting our friends at Stop Rosebank we wanted to launch a project with a craftivist spin. They are currently campaigning for people to send a postcard to their MP to pressure them to sign the #StopRosebank pledge, publicly opposing the Rosebank oil field and advocating for a just transition for oil and gas workers. Instead of writing to your MP, why not send them something you’ve made?
Knit, sew, crochet, paint anything to send to your MP – encourage them to sign the #StopRosebank pledge through craft. Get creative in your activism! Send your creations to us too at hello@jpit.uk.
Click here for more information about the wider campaign, the pledge and to see if your MP has signed up yet.
For more information about craftivism, go to the Craftivist Collective website.

Mass Lobby
Nationwide week of action from 13th–20th September 2025!
JPIT hopes for ‘a planet where our environment is renewed‘. The Climate Coalition organised a mass lobby at Westminster on the 9th of July. We were there, in the faith space organised by Faith for the Climate.

JPIT & the Constituency Action Network joined in with the Climate Coalition’s Lobby Week from 13-20 September. We are asking churches and church members to meet with your MP in your local area, to have a conversation about what action to tackle the climate and nature crisis matters most to you. This is a new chance to talk locally about the campaign asks we took to Westminster last month and to call for their leadership on these issues.

You can use this link to send an email to your MP to ask them to meet and to let the Climate Coalition know about your plans. Remember, writing a personal message is much more powerful than simply sending the template. We have more tips on writing to your MP here and on meeting with your MP here. Finally, get in touch with us at JPIT so that we can support you as you meet with your MP and share in your success afterwards!
