Men and women wearing signs stating “Tell the truth” and “Climate emergency” remain locked in arms in front of London’s financial centre on Thursday morning.
More disruptions from Extinction Rebellion (XR) protests took place on Thursday after seven demonstrators glued themselves to the London Stock Exchange in protest of London’s finance industry.

In 2008, the financal sector urged governments to come together to save them because these institutions were “too big to fail”. Now we risk the collapse of earth systems that literally hold all life together, there has been nowhere near the same sense of emergency. #ActOnClimate!
