Removed "coaltion" from "type" section in infobox. JSO was never a coalition-style group.
Removed "dissolved" date from infobox to reflect that the group still exists. It no longer actively campaigns but it continues to exist to support activists in court and prison.
Updated "purpose" section in infobox to remove "sortition", "social change" and "environmental protection". Sortition was never a goal of Just Stop Oil. Social change and environmental protection are not accurate descriptions of the group's goals either, since their sole target was the fossil fuel policies of the UK government, with the intention of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Updated methods section to more accurately reflect their tactics
/* 2024 */ Added detail about the creation of "Umbrella" and in particular Youth Demand
/* Disbandment */ Updated disbandment section to reflect that Just Stop Oil still exists. It doesn't do active campaigning anymore, but it still supports those in court and in prison.
Updated summary to reflect that Just Stop Oil still exists. It doesn't do active campaigning anymore, but it still supports those in court and in prison.
