Extinction Rebellion Pram Action
London, 31st August 2021
more pictures
Extinction Rebellion campaigners in black mourning walk at funeral pace from Parliament Square to Trafalgar Square pushing white painted prams & Buggies demanding the government stop fossil fuel funding which has led to climate failure which is killing children. They sat down at Downing St and two women glued hands together through a buggy. Since many were holding hands it was hard to tell who was glued. Eventually the protesters went on to Trafalgar Square for photographs and outreach to the public.

more pictures
The Kill the Bill protest met in Parliament Square against the PSCC bill which will give police and the justice system horrifying new powers to silence protests, extend stop and search powers, lock up children in "secure schools", and criminalise Gypsy, Roma and Traveller lifestyles. The bill seems particularly targeted at Black Lives Matter and Extinction Rebellion protests.

Two protesters from Palestine Action sit with banners on the first floor ledge above the entrance to the London offices of Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems in Kingsway, with banners and painted messages 'Elbit Kills', 'Shut Elbit Down'. Elbit supplies weapons to the Israeli government to commit war crimes in Gaza, marketing their weapons as "battle tested" because of their use against Palestinians.
