Climate activists from Carlow stage 'banner drop and funeral procession' in Dublin
Thoughts?
Climate activists from Carlow have staged a banner drop and funeral procession in Dublin city centre as a week of disruption begins to highlight "Government inaction on the climate and biodiversity".
Starting at Heuston Station they proceeded along the North Quays to the Halfpenny Bridge at 11am on Monday.
Extinction Rebellion Kildare joined forces with Extinction Rebellion Carlow to carry out these two dramatic actions.
Activists were dressed as mourners and carried a coffin. There was also Samba drummers and a bagpiper present.
This event marks the start of "Rebellion Week" - a massive worldwide campaign of peaceful disruption by Extinction Rebellion to inform the public and to force the hand of the Government on climate breakdown and the biodiversity crisis.
