A march is led through the Melbourne CBD to call for an end to native forest logging. Meanwhile, two people dressed in koala costumes suspend themselves in tripods erected in the middle of an intersection while several others lock on to concrete filled barrels.

XR Strength in Grief parade - 12 October 2019 by Ron F.

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 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.

This one is all about composition.

You get drawn to face, then the arm with the sun just poking through, then the flag and then the monolith followed by the people in green and then the individual faces.

And then you spot the plane top left above the four raised arms (given that this was an Extinction Rebellion demo).

Stunning and congrats Jonathan Brady (the photographer). One of the best pics I've ever seen for sure.

A whole story in one picture.

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.
