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 19/10/19 the police reported that 1,700+ 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.

April 15, 2019
Youth with Extinction Rebellion SF Bay lead powerful rally, march and direct action, shutting down 7th St and painting a giant street mural in front of the San Francisco Federal Building, demanding immediate action to address climate change. This was part of a global week of action in 22 countries.
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.

Montréal, 2019.
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.
