Overview

  • Actions take place on Saturday under the #ExitGasEnterFuture banner as part of a worldwide mobilization in nearly 100 countries.
  • The movement’s core demands include exiting fossil gas, ending new drilling and gas‑fired plants, and investing in a just energy transition.
  • Leipzig plans major marches with up to 2,000 participants on Saturday and ten trucks, with authorities warning of significant traffic restrictions after Friday’s separate protest.
  • In Duisburg, a police‑registered rally begins at 14:00 by the regional and district court with about 50 expected participants and a large “STOP GAS!” ground display, with no major traffic disruption anticipated.
  • Many cities will use visual stunts such as large ground lettering, with a central focus on blocking One‑Dyas’s planned offshore gas drilling near Borkum.
