In August 2024, activists from Reclaim the Power had planned to camp near Drax, near Selby in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom for five days, in a protest highlighting its environmental impact. But on the eve of the camp, 7 August 2024, police arrested 25 people and seizing tents, fire safety equipment and wheelchair accessible flooring. This meant they had to cancel the planned protest.

In a statement signed by almost 150 groups, they called the operation against activists who had spent months planning the camp “an unreasonable restriction of free speech”.
