London, November 20 (RHC)-- Thousands of climate activists took to the streets of London in the latest action organized by the group Extinction Rebellion.
Eighty-five people were arrested at the demonstrations, which shut down traffic on five major bridges in central London. Over sixty people have been arrested during protests over the past two weeks with more public actions planned.
On of the organizers of the protest, John Hamin, told reporters: “With having someone like Donald Trump come into power and pretty much denying climate change, we’re in a very dire state of affairs. So, something needs to happen soon. The demands of Extinction Rebellion are achievable. We’re looking for zero net carbon emissions by 2025, and a citizen assembly so we can have a say on the way we respond to climate change. And I think it’s something we can actually achieve.”
