On October 7, world-wide, a group calling itself Extinction Rebellion congregated to bring attention to the climate crisis by disrupting traffic. The idea was to block a bridge during rush-hour.
The Extinction Rebellion people in Calgary were very polite during their take over of the Louise Bridge near Kensington. Most of the time they stood in crosswalks with their signs and banners when drivers waited at red lights. They were almost entertaining with one guy dressed as The Joker and another guy dancing with a hula hoop. Occasionally they followed the XR program and stopped traffic during green lights but then some of them went car-to-car offering Timbits during their disruption.
The police were there mostly in an observational capacity, watching that everyone stayed civil. One officer took photos of protesters. But he also photos of drivers who edged too closely to the demonstrators or seemed overly aggressive with their car horns. And there were a few. One pedestrian shouted at them that there was no climate crisis. An old lady asked me what was going on. When I told her it was to draw attention to climate change she scowled and asked, "During rush hour?!"

School Strike for Climate 12 April 2019
The Australian federal court recently ruled that the federal government has a duty of care to protect future generations from climate harm, and the federal government is seeking to appeal this ruling.
Extinction Rebellion staged an action at the front of Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg's electoral office to demand that the government take its commitment to protecting future generations seriously. Two activists scaled the roof and remained in place for close to six hours as police were reportedly reluctant to make any arrests. Several activists also glued on the front door entrance to the office.

On the eve of the "Autumn Uprising" police raided an Extinction Rebellion storage space and seized tons of supplies, including many pink pillows. The return of the subversive pillows on the next day, seen here, drew huge cheers from the assembled crowd.
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 issue 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.

Rebellion wave: Day 3, Rebells blocking the government quarter, Rebell*innen blockieren das Regierungsviertel an fünf Stellen. Mitglieder der Regierung sollen nachsitzen. In den Objekten auf der Straße steht jeweils eine Person oben und zwei weitere Personen haben sich unten mit dem Objekt fest verbunden. So wird eine schnelle Räumung verhindert. Berlin, Yitzhak-Rabin-Straße/Scheidemannstraße, 07.10.20
Am 9. Oktober 2019 blockierten zahlreiche Aktivisten von Extinction Rebellion u.a. die Marschallbrücke sowie die Liebknechtbrücke in Berlin-Mitte.
Einige Aktivisten „ketteten“ sich mit Rohren an und mussten bei der Räumung mit Trennschleifern unfreiwillig „befreit“ werden. Diese wurden danach in Gewahrsam genommen.
