EXTINCTION REBELLION SPRING UPRISING- THE TIPPING POINT IN THE BATTLE FOR OUR NATURAL WORLD ?

As the focus of XR switches to political negotiation here's a few iconic images from the last week of what has widely been acknowledged by the world's media as 'The Tipping Point' in the fight back for the natural world. There's been a scramble across the political spectrum to co-opt XR and Greta Thunberg with the Times stating today that Green politics can now be seized from the left. Everyone wants a slice of this pie- a fundamental shift has occurred in the last seven days. 

Locally XRSutton are currently writing our 'demands' to the Viridor/Pennon Corporation and the London Borough of Sutton. We had a 'lovely' meeting yesterday at the Amba Hotel outside the Marble Arch blockade before joining the blockade afterwards, went through the details of our press release for the local media and started drawing up our plans. 

At long last, this is now kick off point and our local community is in the necessary position we need to be in to drive the Viridor-Council axis back and start moving forward together reconstructing our local environment.
