'We’ll be like sets of mosquitoes coming into London — the aim is to disrupt the system, not the public': ExtinctionRebellion plans surprises for City of London. Matthew__Green reports
LONDON - Activist group Extinction Rebellion plans to send mosquito-like swarms of protesters to disrupt financial, accountancy and media firms in London this year to mobilise broader popular support for transformative action against climate change.
“We’ll be like sets of mosquitoes coming into London — the aim is to disrupt the system, not the public,” Bradbrook told Reuters ahead of the publication of an Extinction Rebellion strategy document on Wednesday. Banks such as Barclays, a major financier of oil and gas projects, accountants such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, and media companies such as News Corp could be among companies Extinction Rebellion would disrupt in a “rolling” wave of actions starting on May 23, Bradbrook said.
After launching in late 2018, Extinction Rebellion has emerged as a highly visible force in a growing global climate movement, staging numerous colorful acts of civil disobedience.
