Rebels young and old join the world’s biggest march for the environment in London.
This issue: Finland’s Storm Warning | UK’s Restore Nature Now | XR Argentina |
Dear rebel,
If people stage a protest but the media isn’t around to record it, can it have an impact? The Restore Nature Now march in London was the world’s largest-ever eco-march, an incredible collaboration between 100,000 activists drawn from 300 organisations, yet media coverage was light, and the BBC ignored it.
Is this the price of prioritising accessibility over disruption? You can find out more about the record-breaking day, and what XR UK will try next, in Action Highlights.
Finnish rebels withstand police violence during street blockades in Helsinki.
There, you can also read about how Finnish rebels staged the biggest disobedience campaign in their nation’s history. Thousands attended multiple street blockades to end ecocidal subsidies. But while the disruption brought precious media attention, it also brought so much police violence that one blockade had to be suspended.
Finally, in Humans of XR we hear from an inspiring rebel in Argentina, a country where dead marine life is washing up on beaches because of seismic testing for offshore oil, and the right to protest against it is being eroded with terrifying speed.
