The arts play an important role in challenging the status quo and speaking truth to power. But fossil fuel sponsorships gag artists and buy public support for climate-wrecking coal and gas.
Woodside uses sponsorship to distract from the fact that it wants to release millions of tonnes of climate pollution every year until 2070, and start dangerous seismic blasting in the path of mother and baby whales as early as this month. A deaf whale is a dead whale.
But as our new report on fossil fuel sponsorship in the arts shows, people power is working. As public pressure grows, more and more arts organisations are dropping coal and gas sponsorships, with only 6% of organisations still to go. So let’s finish this!
By demonstrating a mass show of support, we can encourage the West Australian Symphony Orchestra to take a stand against Woodside's destructive plans and drop them as a sponsor. We’re going to deliver a huge petition when it matters most – add your name now!

To the West Australian Symphony Orchestra,
The arts play an important role in challenging the status quo, but fossil fuel sponsorships gag artists and buy public support for destructive projects.
Woodside is using its relationship with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra to distract from its plans to release millions of tonnes of climate pollution every year until 2070, and start dangerous seismic blasting in the path of mother and baby whales. A deaf whale is a dead whale.
We call on you to take a stand for the climate and our precious marine life, and urgently cut all ties with Woodside and drop them as a sponsor for good.
