In the autumn of 2019, Extinction Rebellion took to the streets to protest the UK government's failure to take urgent action to mitigate the impending Climate Emergency. The protesters are ordinary people who have decided it is time to rebel against inaction, corporate lobbying and media distraction. Over 1600 were arrested, many thousands more were involved.
These pictures were taken on the streets as protesters pushed back against the business-as-usual that is wrecking the climate. They know that there is no planet B. They want everyone else to wake up to this realisation as well.
