2018

[dezie | dezie ebe o si]

An assembly took place at Parliament Square, London on 31 October 2018, and drew more than a thousand people to hear the "Declaration of Rebellion"[1] against the UK government and speeches by Donnachadh McCarthy, 15-year-old Greta Thunberg, the Swedish schoolgirl "on strike" from school over her own government's climate inaction,[2] Julia Bradbury, and Green MEP Molly Scott Cato in the square.[1] After a motion was proposed and agreed, the assembly moved to occupy the road, where Green MP Caroline Lucas, environmentalist George Monbiot, and other speakers and singers, including Seize the Day, continued from the reclaimed street directly in front of the Houses of Parliament.[1][lower-alpha 1] Following this, 15 campaigners were arrested for deliberately continuing the sit-in in the roadway.[1]

In the first two weeks of the movement in November 2018, more than 60 people were arrested for taking part in acts of civil disobedience organised by Extinction Rebellion.[3] On 12 November 2018, activists blockaded the UK's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and some glued their hands to the department's doors.[4] Activists unveiled a "Climate Change... We're Fucked" banner over Westminster Bridge[5] and glued themselves to the gates of Downing Street, near the Prime Minister's official residence, on 14 November.[6][7] In the evening of 15 November a large group closed the access road to Trafalgar Square outside the Brazilian Embassy in an joint action with Brazilian Women against Fascism UK.[8]

On 17 November 2018, in what was called "Rebellion Day", about 6,000 people took part in a coordinated action to block the five main bridges over the River Thames in London (Southwark, Blackfriars, Waterloo, Westminster, and Lambeth) for several hours, causing major traffic disruption; 70 arrests were made.[3][9][10][11][12] The Guardian described it as "one of the biggest acts of peaceful civil disobedience in the UK in decades".[3][13] YBA artist Gavin Turk was one of the activists arrested for obstructing the public highway.[14][15] Elsewhere in the UK there was a rally in Belfast,[16] while internationally there were more actions.

'Rebellion Day 2'

[dezie | dezie ebe o si]

On "Rebellion Day 2", a week after the first, Extinction Rebellion blocked the roads around Parliament Square, before a mock funeral march to Downing Street and then onto Buckingham Palace.[20] XR co-founder Gail Bradbrook read out a letter to the Queen, and one activist glued herself to the gates of the Palace, before the procession returned to Parliament Square.[21] On 24 November there were actions outside London by XR groups in Manchester,[22] Sheffield,[23] Machynlleth[24] and Edinburgh.[25]

During London Fashion Week in February, Extinction Rebellion organised actions to disrupt events, calling on the British Fashion Council organisers to declare a 'climate emergency' and for the industry to take a leading role in tackling climate change.[26] 'Swarming' roadblocks were held outside several venues; a couple of rebels wore living grass coats.[27] Later in the week, designer and XR co-founder Clare Farrell, was barred from a fashion show by a label in which she had been involved with production.[28]
