It looks like Just Stop Oil does all of those things according to their Wiki entry: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stop_Oil

And all I ever see on the news is soup on art. So what do you suggest now?

Stop throwing soup on art and keep fighting fossil fuels. Go after coal too. Power plants and refineries are choke points on the process. Just stop making the public mad with pointless soup throwing. Or at least throw it on Nigel Farage. Public figures need soup more than Renaissance painters.

The UK has no more coal fire power stations, so it wouldn't really make sense for a UK organisation to go after coal.
