Extinction Rebellion Launches New Resistance Campaign with London Direct Action Protests
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Britain, the climate justice group Extinction Rebellion launched a
new resistance campaign with a series of protests in London Monday. The
group says they want to highlight the destructive role financial
institutions play in the climate crisis. This is a member of Extinction
Rebellion who joined a peaceful blockade of a busy London intersection
on Monday.

Extinction Rebellion protester: "I'm doing this because I care about the
climate emergency. I care about all living things on this Earth, and I
am doing something about it."
