On 28 June 2024, the police arrested 17 Just Stop Oil activists in different locations throughout the United Kingdom as they suspected them of being key organisers of events that would disrupt thousands of holiday makers over the summer with direct action against airports.

In a statement, Just Stop Oil said: “As long as political leaders fail to take swift and decisive action to protect our communities from the worst effects of climate breakdown, Just Stop Oil supporters, working with other groups internationally, will take the proportionate action necessary to generate much needed political pressure. This summer, areas of key importance to the fossil fuel economy will be declared sites of civil resistance around the world."
