Location: Outside RBS in town

Town/City: Maidstone, United Kingdom


The royal bank of scotland spends almost £8 billiion a year on funding tar sand projects in Canada, thats £8 billion of the taxpayers money being spent on one of the most enviromentally damaging projects on the planet!!

This project It is destroying the homelands of Indigenous communities, polluting their drinking water, destroying an area of ancient forest larger than England.

What can we do?

We are going to stage a demonstration outside the maidstone branch, with some of us lieing on the ground dead on top of big oil splats. Others will be talking to passerbys about the impact of the bank and the tar sands.

Or just come along and show your support.

Also a camera team from the BBC will be there, so remember, BIG SMILES!
