Environment activists block streets in five British cities demanding bolder action by the government against climate change
The movement's protests blocked routes in different cities of the UK bringing boats with the slogan"Act Now" to raise awareness on climate change.Civil disobedience group Extinction Rebellion staged protests in five British cities on Monday, aiming to renew pressure on the government to take bolder action to tackle climate change and slow the worldwide loss of plant and animal species.
A protester sings with the crowd on top of the boat as Extinction Rebellion climate activists hold a protest outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London, Britain, July 15, 2019. Modelled on civil disobedience campaigns such as the US civil rights movement and Britain’s Suffragettes, Extinction Rebellion has pushed climate up the agenda in Britain, where parliament declared a symbolic ‘climate emergency’ in May.Critics of the movement say policing its protests is a major drain on resources at a time when authorities are struggling to contain an outbreak of knife crime in the capital, while its blocking of roads has inflicted losses on businesses.
