Extinction Rebellion Bike Bloc 5 was part of decentralised climate protest actions in Melbourne CBD, each up to 20 people. This meant they complied with pandemic Covid19 health directives. There were 5 different cycling blocs, at least 3 different intersection blocs, and an art installation bloc at Parliament House steps.
Protest is an important part of democracy, even during a pandemic, and can be done without the infection transmission risk of large rallies and marches.

Led by a New Orleans' style jazz funeral band several thousand people march from Marble Arch to Russell Square, where various ceremonies were conducted, mourning species lost and to be lost in future.
Extinction Rebellion stage 2 weeks of protests in London (and cities around the world) to force the government to tell the truth about the threats from climate change and biodiversity loss and declare an emergency, to commit to acting on it and to call a citizens assembly to assess how best to respond. Throughout, the protests were peaceful and good natured, with non-violent direct action a core tactic of Extinction Rebellion. Nonetheless by 16/10/19 the police reported that 1,600+ people had been arrested, many for obstructing the highway (eg lock-ons while lying in the road). As XR publicly say, their strategy aims at maximizing arrests to gain publicity and raise the isse of climate change in the media and public consciousness. Policing was much heavier compared to the April "rebellion", with pre-emptive arrests and raids on storage facilities. On 14/10/19 police expanded an order banning XR protests to include the whole of London. This ban has been widely criticised and may be subject to judicial review.

All across the world rebellions are organising to take action on climate change. The organisers hope to have more people than last time. Seeing how many people came out on Sunday evening then I would have thought a lot more people will be out during the next 2 weeks.
This is the ceremony for the start of climate action protests, taking place at Marble Arch. Starting 2 weeks of action from the 7th October.

Several hundred Extinction Rebellion activists perform a dramatic protest in Whitehall, London - the seat of government - pouring gallons of fake blood outside the Prime Minister's residence in Downing Street after a solemn ceremony and calls for politicians to take seriously the threats posed by global warming and biodiversity loss to the planet. The blood symbolized that of the children lost through unabated climate change.
A smaller group later headed to Oxford Circus - the heart of London's shopping district - and performed some hilarious songs in cacophonous style before causing traffic diversions by blocking the roads.

School students rally in Central London for the fourth School Strike for Climate as they call for greater action by government to combat the climate crisis and ecosystem destruction. Inspired by 16-year old Swedish student Greta Thunberg the protest was one of thousands that took place around the UK and the rest of the world.
