Extinction Rebellion Parliament Square
Parliament Square, London. Sat 24 Nov 2018
A man stands holding a photograph of an elephant at the Extinction
Rebellion (XR) rally
Many people had brought flowers for the funeral
A large wreath in the XR symbol and a toy Sumatran tiger, on the brink
of extinction because of illegal logging
'there is no planet b'
An environmental lawyer speaks - and is followed by Rabbi Jeffrey
who puts on his shawl to speak
A woman teaches the crowd a new song for the protest
and Kwame tells us how climate change is hitting Ghana
More speakers
including a transgender poet
and a young activist
We get advice from one of the legal observers about our rights to
protest and how to react to police, particularly if arrested
and Esther Utjiua Muinjangue talks about Stop the Maangamizi
Phoenix speaks about what is going to happen
and people come to start digging a grave in the centre of Parliament
Square
They lift the turf carefully to as to avoid any damage
and pile it up to one side
before beginning to dig out a grave
The soil is highly compacted and digging almost impossible - showing the
ground was not well-prepared before
laying the new turf. Had the protesters been allowed to continue they would
have replaced the turf and it would
probably have grown more strongly after the extra digging.
